ABC exporters hydrolyze ATP to pump substrates across membranes, but critical steps of the transport mechanism remain poorly understood. Here, the authors solve the crystal structure of outward-facing TM287/288 with the help of a state-specific sybody and gain insights into the role of the extracellular gate.
