1.A.43.1.1









The camphor resistance protein, CrcB or FluC (Hu et al. 1996; Sand et al. 2003).  Exports fluoride selectively over chloride by an anion open channel mechanism (Stockbridge et al. 2013).  The active transporter is a dimer of 4 TMS subunits arranged in an antiparallel transmembrane orientation (Stockbridge et al. 2014).  In bacteria lacking Fluc, F- accumulates when the external medium is acidified as a predicted function of the transmembrane pH gradient. This weak acid accumulation effect, which results from the high pKa (3.4) and membrane permeability of HF, is abolished by Fluc channels (Ji et al. 2014).  A proper tubulin network is required for functional Cx43 GJ channels, and mefloquineis a gap junction inhibitor (Sand et al. 2003).  Exports fluoride selectively over chloride by an anion open channel mechanism (Stockbridge et al. 2013).  The active transporter is a dimer of 4 TMS subunits arranged in an antiparallel transmembrane orientation (Stockbridge et al. 2014).  In bacteria lacking Fluc, F- accumulates when the external medium is acidified as a predicted function of the transmembrane pH gradient.

Fluoride transporter,CrcB of 122 aas and 4 TMSs (Baker et al. 2012). It is important for reducing fluoride concentrations in the cell, thus reducing its toxicity. Several of these fluoride exporter genes are regulated by fluoride-regulated riboswitches.  M. extorquens has several F- exporters that are regulated by F--riboswithches because this organims can use halogenated hydrocarbons as carbon sources, and they release the toxic halogen ion into the cytoplasm. They need to pump it out to survive. (Baker et al. 2012)
