2.A.1.1.1









Galactose:H+ symporter, GalP. Also transports glucose, xylose, fucose (6-deoxygalactose), 2-deoxygalactose and 2-deoxyglucose) (Henderson and Giddens 1977Henderson et al. 1977; Hernández-Montalvo et al., 2001). Relative substrate affinities of wild-type and mutant forms of the E. coli sugar transporter GalP have been determined by solid-state NMR (Patching et al., 2008).  GalP may exist as a trimer with each subunit having a sugar transporting channel (Zheng et al. 2010).

Xylose (xylopyranose):H+ symporter of 491 aas and 12 TMSs (Wambo et al. 2017).  Also transports and binds D-glucose and 6-bromo-6-deoxy-D-glucose.  The 3-d structure is known in three conformers, outward occluded, inward occluded and inward open (Sun et al. 2012: Quistgaard et al. 2013).  Most of the sugar-binding residues are conserved with the human Glut-1, 2, 3 and 4 homologues.  The coalescence of intramolecular tunnels and cavities has been postulated to account for facilitated diffusion of sugars (Cunningham and Naftalin 2014). Protonation of a conserved aspartate triggers a conformational transition from the outward-facing to the inward-facing state. This transition only occurs in the presence of substrate xylose, while the inhibitor glucose locks the transporter in the outward-facing state (Quistgaard et al. 2013).  Most of the sugar-binding residues are conserved with the human Glut-1, 2, 3 and 4 homologues.  The coalescence of intramolecular tunnels and cavities has been postulated to account for facilitated diffusion of sugars (Cunningham and Naftalin 2014). Protonation of a conserved aspartate triggers a conformational transition from the outward-facing to the inward-facing state.

Glucose uniporter, Glut3 (also transports dehydro-ascorbate; Maulén et al., 2003). Down-regulated in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients (Liu et al., 2008b).  The structure of the human orthologue with D-glucose bound was solved at 1.5 Å resolution in the outward occluded conformation (Deng et al. 2015).  Sugars are predominantly coordinated by polar residues in the C-terminal domain. The conformational transition from the outward-open to the outward-occluded states entails a prominent local rearrangement of the extracellular part of  TMS 7. Comparison of the outward-facing GLUT3 structures with inward-open GLUT1 provides insight into the alternating access cycle for GLUTs, whereby the C-terminal domain provides the primary substrate-binding site and the N-terminal domain undergoes rigid-body rotation with respect to the C-terminal domain (Deng et al. 2015). Glut3 is involved in several disease states in humans (Lechermeier et al. 2019). Resveratrol and soy isoflavones alone and in combination improve the learning and memory of aging rats. The mechanism may be related to up-regulating the expression of GLUT1 and GLUT3 genes and proteins in the hippocampus (Zhang et al. 2020).

2.A.1.1.13









Fructose uniporter, GLUT5.  The proteins from rat and cow have been crystalized and their structures have been determined in the open outward- and open inward-facing conformations, respectively. On the basis of comparisons of the inward-facing structures of GLUT5 and human GLUT1, a ubiquitous glucose transporter, a single point mutation proved to be enough to switch the substrate-binding preference from fructose to glucose. A comparison of the substrate-free structures of GLUT5 with occluded substrate-bound structures of E. coli XylE suggested that, in addition to a global rocker-switch-like re-orientation of the bundles, local asymmetric rearrangements of carboxy-terminal transmembrane bundle helices, TM7 and TM10, underlie a 'gated-pore' transport mechanism (Nomura et al. 2015).  GLUT5 is preferentially used for fructose uptake under (near) anoxic glycolysis to avoid feedback inhibition of phosphofructokinase (Park et al. 2017). Residues involved in fructose recognition have been identified (Ebert et al. 2017). Glucose (Glut-1 and 3) and fructose (Glut-2 and 5) transporter expression and regulation in the hummingbird occur independently of each other (Ali et al. 2020). Complex plastic mechanisms allow adaptation to environmental changes (Huang et al. 2023). C-3 modified 2,5-anhydromannitol (2,5-AM) compounds are inhibitory D-fructose analogues (Rana et al. 2023).  Discrimination of GLUTs by fructose isomers enables simultaneous screening of GLUT5 and GLUT2 activities in live cells (Gora et al. 2023). It may play a role in tumorigenesis (Hadzi-Petrushev et al. 2024).

Glucose/mannose/fructose transporter and high affinity sensor, Snf3p, (regulates glucose transport via other systems).  Residues involved in ligand preference are similar to those involved in transport (Dietvorst et al. 2010).  Snf3p in Candida glabrata is essential for growth in low glucose media but not high glucose media, and plays a role in the induction of severall hexose transporters (Ng et al. 2015).

Eukaryota

Snf3p of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
2.A.1.1.19









Glucose transporter and low affinity sensor, Rgt2p (regulates glucose transport in conjunction with Snf3p). Rgt2 generates an intracellular signal in response to glucose that leads to inhibition of the Rgt1 transcriptional repressor and consequently to derepression of HXT genes encoding glucose transporters. They have unusually long C-terminal tails that bind to Mth1 and Std1, paralogous proteins that regulate the function of the Rgt1 transcription factor. Scharff-Poulsen et al. 2018 showed that the C-terminal tail of Rgt2 is not responsible for its inability to transport glucose. RGT2 mutations that cause constitutive signal generation alter evolutionarily-conserved amino acids in the transmembrane spanning regions involved in maintaining an outward-facing conformation or the substrate binding site. These mutations may cause Rgt2 to adopt inward-facing or occluded conformations that generate the glucose signal. The cytoplasmic C-terminal domains of the yeast cell surface receptors Rgt2 and Snf3 play multiple roles in glucose sensing and signaling (Kim et al. 2024).

The erythrocyte/brain hexose facilitator, glucose transporter-1, Gtr1. SLC2a1 or Glut1. Transports D-glucose, dehydroascorbate, arsenite and the flavonone, quercetin, via one pathway and water via a distinct channel. Sugar transport has been suggested to function via a sliding mechanism involving several sugar binding sites (Cunningham et al., 2006). Glut1 is the receptor for human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV)) (Manel et al., 2003). The orientation of the 12 TMSs and the conformation of the exofacial glucose binding site of GLUT1 have been proposed (Mueckler and Makepeace 2004). It is regulated by stomatin (TC# 8.A.21) to take up dehydroascorbate (Montel-Hagen et al., 2008). Mutations cause Glut1 deficiency syndrome, a human encephalopathy that results from decreased glucose flux through the blood brain barrier (Pascual et al., 2008).  Mueckler and Makepeace (2009) have presented a model of the exofacial substrate-binding site and helical folding of Glut1. Glut1, 2, 4 and 9 are functional both in the plasma membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum (Takanaga and Frommer, 2010). Glut1 is down-regulated in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients (Liu et al., 2008b). Metabolic stress rapidly stimulates blood-brain barrier endothelial cell sugar transport by acute up-regulation of plasma membrane GLUT1 levels, possibly involving an AMP-activated kinase activity (Cura and Carruthers, 2010). Serves as a receptor for neuropilin-1 (923aas; 2 TMSs; O14786) and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) (Hoshino, 2012). Glut1 has a nucleotide binding site, and nucleotide binding affects transport activity (Yao and Bajjalieh 2009).  The protein serves as a receptor for dermatin and β-adducin which help link the spectrin-actin junctional complex to the erythrocyte plasma membrane (Khan et al. 2008).  May play a role in paroxysmal dyskinesias (Erro et al. 2017). GLUT1 mediates infection of CD4+ lymphocytes by human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (Jin et al. 2006). Mutations in disordered regions can cause disease by introducing dileucine motifs, For example, mutations that are causative of GLUT1 deficiency syndrome are of this type, and the mutated protein mislocalizes to intracellular compartments (Meyer et al. 2018). Glucose transits along a transmembrane pathway through significant rotational motions while maintaining hydrogen bonds with the protein (Galochkina et al. 2019). It is phosphoryated by protein kinase C-B (TC# 8.A.104.1.4) (Lee et al. 2015). GLUT1-mediated exchange of fluorosugars has been studied (Shishmarev et al. 2018). Resveratrol and soy isoflavones alone and in combination improve the learning and memory of aging rats. The mechanism may be related to up-regulating the expression of GLUT1 and GLUT3 genes in the hippocampus (Zhang et al. 2020). The pore diameters of the transmembrane glucose transporters of all Class I GLUT proteins are constricted upon depletion of unsaturated fatty acids in the membranes (Weijers 2020). Diclofenac inhibits tumor cell glycolysis and growth by decreasing GLUT1 expression (Yang et al. 2021). Almost the entire populations of Glut1 and three other transmembrane proteins are immobilized by either the incorporation within large multiprotein complexes or entrapment within the protein network of the cortical spectrin cytoskeleton (Kodippili et al. 2020). This system is required for hepatocellular carcinoma proliferation and metastasis (Fang et al. 2021). The main triggers FoR activation of transport are located within the solvent accessible linker regions in the extramembranous zones (Gonzalez-Resines et al. 2021). DHHC9-mediated GLUT1 S-palmitoylation is requuired for plasma membrane localization and promotes glioblastoma glycolysis and tumorigenesis (Zhang et al. 2021). An ancient family of arrestin-fold proteins, termed alpha-arrestins, have conserved roles in regulating nutrient transporter trafficking and cellular metabolism as adaptor proteins. One alpha-arrestin, TXNIP (thioredoxin-interacting protein), is known to regulate myocardial glucose uptake, but the in vivo role of the related alpha-arrestin, ARRDC4 (arrestin domain-containing protein 4), was unknown. Interactions of ARRDC4 with GLUT1 prove to mediate metabolic stress in the ischemic heart (Nakayama et al. 2022). Mercury (Hg2+) decreased membrane deformability, impairing RBC capacity to deal with the shear forces in the circulation, increasing membrane fragmentation, and affecting transport (Notariale et al. 2022). GLUT-1 and GLUT-3 play important roles in the development of some types of malignant tumors, including glioblastoma, and expression of both is regulated by miRNAs (Beylerli et al. 2022). Glucose uptake inhibitors via Glut1 are potential anticancer agents (Hung et al. 2022). GLUT1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1DS1) is a rare genetic metabolic disease, characterized by infantile-onset epileptic encephalopathy, global developmental delay, progressive microcephaly, and movement disorders (e.g., spasticity and dystonia) (Mauri et al. 2022). It is caused by heterozygous mutations in the SLC2A1 gene, which encodes the GLUT1 protein, a glucose transporter across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Most commonly, these variants (~2 dozen) arise de novo, resulting in sporadic cases, although several familial cases with AD inheritance pattern have been described (Mauri et al. 2022). Fluoride exposure affects the expression of glucose transporters (GLUT1 and 3) and ATP synthesis (Chen et al. 2023). GLUT1 is necessary for the flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) to survive hypoxia, but overexpression of GLUT1 was insufficient to rescue other skeletal muscles from hypoxic damage (Amorese et al. 2023). The role of GLUT inhibitors, micro-RNAs, and long non-coding RNAs that aid in inhibiting glucose uptake by cancer cells have been discussed as potential theraputics (Chamarthy and Mekala 2023). GLUT1 overexpression in tumor cells is a potential target for drug therapy (Zhao et al. 2023). HSP90B1-mediated plasma membrane localization of GLUT1 promotes radioresistance of glioblastomas (Li et al. 2023).  The core genes (Fgf2, Pdgfra, Ptpn11, Slc2a1) are highly expressed in sevoflurane anesthesia brain tissue samples. The 4 core genes (Fgf2, Pdgfra, Ptpn11, and Slc2a1) are associated with neurodegenerative diseases, brain injuries, memory disorders, cognitive disorders, neurotoxicity, drug-induced abnormalities, neurological disorders, developmental disorders, and intellectual disabilities. Fgf2 and Ptpn11 are highly expressed in brain tissue after sevoflurane anesthesia, the higher the expression level of Fgf2 and Ptpn11, the worse the prognosis (Zhang and Xu 2023). Target separation and potential anticancer activity of withanolide-based glucose transporter protein 1 inhibitors from Physalis angulata var. villosa have been evaluated (Zhang et al. 2023).  PIGT is a subunit of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol transamidase which is involved in tumorigenesis and invasiveness.  PIGT promotes cell growth, glycolysis, and metastasis in bladder cancer by modulating GLUT1 glycosylation and membrane trafficking (Tan et al. 2024).  PDGF-stimulated glucose uptake via Glut1 has been reported to be dependent on receptor/transporter endocytosis (Tsutsumi et al. 2024).  Glucose transporter-1 deficiency syndrome gives rise to extreme phenotypic variability in a five-generation family carrying a novel SLC2A1 variant (Giugno et al. 2024).  A 4-furanylvinylquinoline derivative is a new scaffold for the design of oxidative stress initiator and a glucose transporter inhibitor via GLUT1 (Kuczak et al. 2024).

Glucosamine/glucose/fructose uniporter, Glut-2, Glut2 or ATG9A; it may also transport dehydroascorbate (Mardones et al., 2011Maulén et al., 2003), and cotransports water against an osmotic gradient (Naftalin, 2008).  Mutations may give rise to the rare autosomal recessive Fanconi-Bickel syndrome (Batool et al. 2019). It mediates intestinal transport of quercetrin (Li et al. 2020) and can transport the drug gastrodin, a seditive with a strcture of a phenolic glucoside (Huang et al. 2023). It also functions in autophagy. The cryoEM structure of the human ATG9A isoform at 2.9-Å resolution has been solved (Guardia et al. 2020). The structure reveals a fold with a homotrimeric domain-swapped architecture, multiple membrane spans, and a network of branched cavities, consistent with ATG9A being a membrane transporter. Mutational analyses support a role for the cavities in the functions of ATG9A. Structure-guided molecular simulations predict that ATG9A causes membrane bending, explaining the localization of this protein to small vesicles and highly curved edges of growing autophagosomes (Guardia et al. 2020). Both GLUT2 and GLUT3 have been expressed in yeast and exhibit most of the characteristics of the proteins expressed in humans (Schmidl et al. 2020). Autophagy is a highly conserved pathway that the cell uses to maintain homeostasis, degrade damaged organelles, combat invading pathogens, and survive pathological conditions. A set of proteins, called ATG proteins, comprise the core autophagy machinery and work together in a defined hierarchy. ATG9A vesicles are at the heart of autophagy, as they control the rapid de novo synthesis of an organelle called the phagophore. ATG9A is present in different membrane compartments (van Vliet et al. 2023).  Metformin increases the uptake of glucose into the gut from the circulation in high-fat diet-fed male mice, which is enhanced by a reduction in whole-body Slc2a2 expression (Morrice et al. 2023).  Increased expression of Glucose Transporter 2 (GLUT2) is observed on the peripheral blood insulin-producing cells (PB-IPC) in type 1 diabetic patients after receiving stem cell educator therapy (Zhao et al. 2024).

The kidney basolateral urate efflux transporter (SLC2A9, URATv1 or GLUT9) (orthologue of 2.A.1.1.47) (Anzai et al., 2008). Human SLC2A9a and SLC2A9b isoforms mediate electrogenic transport of urate with different characteristics in the presence of hexoses (Witkowska et al., 2012).  It transports hexoses, glucose and fructose, but not galactose, at a rate 50-fold slower than urate the latter by a uniport mechanism, thus catalyzing uptake as well as efflux. The ITM2B protein Q9Y287; 266 aas and 1 TMS) inhibits urate uptake and stimulates efflux (Mandal and Mount 2019). GLUT9's transcription is regulated by a hepatocyte nuclear factor, HNF4α (Prestin et al. 2014). Residues involved in urate transport have been identified (Long et al. 2017). Pathogenic variants of SLC22A12 (URAT1) and SLC2A9 (GLUT9) can give rise to renal hypouricemia (Perdomo-Ramirez et al. 2023). The structural basis for the transport and substrate selection have been described (He et al. 2024).  Cryo-EM structures of human URAT1(R477S), its complex with urate, and its closely related homolog OAT4 have been determined. URAT1(R477S) and OAT4 exhibit major facilitator superfamily (MFS) folds with outward- and inward-open conformations, respectively. Structural comparison reveals a 30° rotation between the N-terminal and C-terminal domains, supporting an alternating access mechanism. A conserved arginine (OAT4-Arg473/URAT1-Arg477) is found to be essential for chloride-mediated inhibition (He et al. 2024).

Glucose transporter, GT1. GT1, 2, and 3 are homologues. GT2 and GT3 transport ribose as well as glucose at different rates. GT3 transports ribose with 6-fold lower efficiency due to two threonines in GT3 that are alanines in GT2. They are in two loops between TMSs 3, 4, and 7, 8 (Naula et al., 2010). GT1 is expressed in the flagellar membrane and may be both a glucose transporter and sensor, allowing the parasites to enter the stationary phase when they deplete glucose although in the absence of the sensor, they lose viability (Rodriguez-Contreras et al. 2015).

The glucose transporter, LmGT3 (homologous to LmGT2 (1.A.1.1.75)). Two threonine residues located in the hydrophilic loops connecting TMSs 3 & 4 and 7 & 8 of GT3 prevent transport of D-ribose. Changing these two residues to alanine (as in GT2) allows transport of ribose. Thus, loops 3-4 and 7-8 partially determine substrate specificity (Naula et al., 2010).

Insulin-responsive facilitative glucose transporter in skeletal and cardiac muscle, adipose, and other tissues, Glut4 (GTR4; SLC2A4; 509aas). Defects in Glut4 cause noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Hyperinsulinemia leads to uncoupled insulin regulation of the GLUT4 glucose transporter and the FoxO1 transcription factor (Gonzalez et al., 2011). The first luminal loop confers insulin responsiveness to GLUT4 (Kim and Kandror, 2012). Exercise increases Glut4 synthesis in a process involving several protein kinases, the Glut4 enhancer factor (GEF; SLC2A4 regulator; Q9NR83), and the myocyte enhancing factor 2 (MEF2; NP_001139257). (McGee and Hargreaves 2006; Wright 2007; Zorzano et al. 2005). monoclonal antibodies against the GLUT4 inward-open and outward-open states have been isoated (Tucker et al. 2018). It is phosphoryated by protein kinase C-β, PRKCB or PKCB (Lee et al. 2015). Insulin-induced GLUT4 transport is observed in the heart and brain in addition to the skeletal muscle and adipocytes, and hormones other than insulin can enhance GLUT4 transport (Wang et al. 2020). Prolonged preoperative fasting induces postoperative insulin resistance by ER-stress mediated Glut4 down-regulation in skeletal muscle (Lin et al. 2021). GLUT4 is the primary glucose transporter in adipose and skeletal muscle tissues, and its cellular trafficking is regulated by insulin signaling. Failed or reduced plasma membrane localization of GLUT4 is associated with diabetes. The cryo-EM structures of human GLUT4 bound to a small molecule inhibitor cytochalasin B (CCB) at resolutions of 3.3 Å which exhibits an inward-open conformation. The cryo-EM structure reveals an extracellular glycosylation site and an intracellular helix that is invisible in the crystal structure of GLUT1 (Yuan et al. 2022). Tectorigenin targets PKACα to promote GLUT4 expression in skeletal muscle and improve insulin resistance in vitro and in vivo (Yao et al. 2023). Key molecular players in insulin resistance (IR) are the insulin receptor and glucose transporter 4, and certain natural products, such as lipids, phenols, terpenes, antibiotics and alkaloids have beneficial effects on IR which are named "membrane-active immunomodulators" (MAIMs) (Izbicka and Streeper 2023). An example is the medium chain fatty acid ester diethyl azelate (DEA), which increases the fluidity of plasma membranes with subsequent downstream effects on cellular signaling and improves the symptoms of IR. The intracellular helical bundle of human glucose transporter GLUT4 is important for complex formation with ASP (Huang et al. 2023). Diabetes-induced electrophysiological alterations on neurosomes in ganglia of the peripheral nervous system have been reported (Leal-Cardoso et al. 2023). Regulated dynamic subcellular GLUT4 localization has been revealed by proximal proteome mapping in human muscle cells (Ray et al. 2023). In goats, this system is closely associate with lipid metabolism (Zhang et al. 2024).  New compounds lowered the systolic blood pressure (from 149 to 120 mmHg), but only LQM312 and LQM319 improved the metabolic state of hypoxic cardiomyocytes mediated by GLUT1 and GLUT4 (Hernández-Serda et al. 2024). In silico studies suggested that Captopril and LQM312 mimic the interaction with the AMPK γ-subunit. Therefore, these compounds could activate AMPK, promoting the GLUT4 trafficking signaling pathway (Hernández-Serda et al. 2024).

Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 3 (Glucose transporter type 3, brain) (GLUT-3 or GLUT3). It mediates the facilitative uptake of glucose, 2-deoxyglucose, galactose, mannose, xylose and fucose, and probably dehydroascorbate, but not fructose (Seatter et al. 1998, Deng et al. 2015).  GLUT3, a key neuronal transporter, exhibits multiple intermediate states (Sun and Zheng 2019). SLC2A3 may play a role in the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) by regulating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) classical pathway as well as PD-L1 mediated immune responses (Gao et al. 2021). GLUT3 is consistently upregulated in actively proliferating human oral squamous cell carcinoma cells (Paolini et al. 2022). GLUT-1 and GLUT-3 play roles in the development of some types of malignant tumors including glioblastoma, and expression of both is regulated by miRNAs (Beylerli et al. 2022). The overexpression of GLUT3 or GLUT1 may be monitored alone or in combination (GLUT1/GLUT3 ratio) as a biomarker for preeclampsia onset, phenotype, and progression (Agbani et al. 2023).

Sugar transporter ERD6-like 6, ERD6L6, of 487 aas and 12 TMSs.  It is 92% identical to ERD6L4 (488 aas and 12 TMSs) of A. thaliana, and ERD6-like 4 is candidate gene for foliar water-soluble carbohydrate accumulation in Trifolium repens (Pearson et al. 2022). Vacuolar sugar transporter EARLY RESPONSE TO DEHYDRATION 6-LIKE4 affects fructose signaling and plant growth (Khan et al. 2023). Regulation of intracellular sugar homeostasis is maintained by regulation of activities of sugar import and export proteins residing at the tonoplast. ERDL4 protein resides in the vacuolar membrane in Arabidopsis thaliana. Gene expression and subcellular fractionation studies indicated that ERDL4 participates in fructose allocation across the tonoplast, and modification of cytosolic fructose levels influences plant organ development and stress tolerance (Khan et al. 2023).

The high affinity sugar:H+ symporter (sugar uptake) porter of 514 aas and 12 TMSs, STP10. It transports glucose, galactose and mannose, and is therefore a hexose transporter (Rottmann et al. 2016). The 2.4 Å structure with glucose bound has been solved, explaining high affinity sugar recognition (Paulsen et al. 2019). The results suggest a proton donor/acceptor pair that links sugar transport to proton translocation. It contains a Lid domain, conserved in all sugar transport proteins, that locks the mobile transmembrane domains through a disulfide bridge, and creates a protected environment which allows efficient coupling of the proton gradient to drive sugar uptake (Paulsen et al. 2019).

Facilitated trehalose transporter, Tret1-like, of 485 aas and 12 TMSs in a 6 + 6 TMS arrangement. Trehalose is the main blood sugar in insects and plays an important role in energy metabolism and stress resistance. Plutella xylostella (L.) is an agricultural pest worldwide. Tret1-like was cloned, knoched out and studied (Zhou et al. 2022). It was found that expression of the gene encoding PxTret1-like was affected by ambient temperature. A knockout mutation of PxTret1-like was generated, and the trehalose content and trehalase activity of the mutant increased at different developmental stages. The trehalose content increased in the fat body of the fourth-instar and decreased in the hemolymph. There was no significant change in glucose in the fat body and hemolymph. Mutant deletion strains of P. xylostella showed a significantly reduced survival rate, fecundity and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. Thus, PxTret1-like could affect the development, reproduction and temperature adaptability of P. xylostella by regulating the trehalose content in the fat body and hemolymph (Zhou et al. 2022).

Symbiotic cnidarians such as corals and anemones form highly productive and biodiverse coral reef ecosystems in nutrient-poor ocean environments, a phenomenon known as Darwin's paradox (Cui et al. 2023). Using the sea anemone Aiptasia, we show that during symbiosis, the increased availability of glucose and the presence of the algae jointly induce the coordinated up-regulation and relocalization of glucose and ammonium transporters. These molecular responses are critical to support symbiont functioning and organism-wide nitrogen assimilation through glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase-mediated amino acid biosynthesis (Cui et al. 2023).

Plastid glucose transporter 2, pGlcT2, of 493 aas and 12 TMSs. pGlcT2-GFP localized to the chloroplast envelope and is mainly produced in seedlings and in the rosette centers of mature Arabidopsis plants. Therefore, pGlcT2 acts as a glucose importer that can limit cytosolic glucose availability in developing pGlcT2-overexpressing seedlings (Valifard et al. 2023). Possibly pGlcT2 contributes to a release of glucose derived from starch mobilization late in the light phase.

Multidrug (14- and 15-membered macrolides, lincosamides, streptogramins, tetracyclines, daunomycin, ethidium bromide, etc.):H+ antiporter, LmrP. Two proton translocation pathways have been proposed (Bapna et al., 2007), but Schaedler and van Veen, 2010 have provided evidence that a flexible cation binding site in LmrP is associated with variable proton coupling. Basic residues R260 and K357 affect the conformational dynamics of LmrP (Wang and van Veen, 2012).  Basic residues, R260 and K357 control the conformational dynamics of the protein (Wang and van Veen 2012).  Also specifically catalyzes Ca2+:3H+ antiport with an affinity of 7 μM (Zhang et al. 2012). Two carboxylates (Asp-235 and Glu-327) are critical for Ca2+ binding.  Protonation drives major conformational switches (Masureel et al. 2013). The system exhibits plasticity in proton interactions, which is a consequence of the flexibility in the location of key residues that are responsible for proton/multidrug antiport (Nair et al. 2016).

(Benomyl, cycloheximide, methotrexate, fluconazole, etc.):H+ antiporter, CaMDR1 (Basso et al., 2010; Cannon et al., 1998). MDR1 catalyzes efflux of commonly used azoles. The central cytoplasmic loop is critical for MDR function, but does not impart substrate specificity (Mandal et al., 2012). The structural basis for polyspecificity of MDR MFS transporters, based on studies with Mdr1, is the extended capacity brought by residues located at the periphery of a binding core to accomodate compounds differing in size and type (Redhu et al. 2018). Each domain in the protein is arranged in a pseudo-symmetric fold of two tandems of 3-TMSs that alternatly expose the drug-binding site towards the inside or the outside of the yeast to promote drug binding and release. Sharma et al. 2022 provided information on these motifs by having screened a library of 64 drug transport-deficient mutants and their corresponding suppressors spontaneously addressing the deficiency. They found that five strains recovered the drug-resistance capacity by expressing CaMdr1 with a secondary mutation. The pairs of debilitating/rescuing residues are distributed either in the same TMS or 3-TMS repeat, at the hinge of 3-TMS repeat tandems, and between the N- and C-domains. Most of these mutants belong to different signature motifs, highlighting a mechanistic role and interplay thought to be conserved among MFS proteins. Results point to the specific role of TMS 11 in the interplay between the N- and C-domains in the inward- to outward-open conformational transition (Sharma et al. 2022).

The multidrug (chloramphenicol, tetracycline, norfloxacin, doxorubicin, trimethoprim, acriflavin, ethidium bromide, tetraphenylphosphonium, TPP, benzalkonium, ciprofloxacin, thiamphenicol, IPTG) resistance exporter, MdfA (catalyzes both electrogenic and electroneutral transport) (Adler and Bibi, 2004). Can function as a Na+ (K+)/H+ antiporter (Lewinson and Bibi 2001; Higgins, 2007). Is known to provide resistance to a wide variety of dissimilar toxic compounds, including neutral, cationic and zwitterionic substances.  Crystals that diffracted to 3.4 Å resolution and belonged to the hexagonal space group P6122 have been obtained (Nagarathinam et al. 2017). For review of MdfA see Lewinson et al., 2006. The conformational switch accompanying transport is induced by the promiscuous binding of substrates and/or inhibitors to the binding pocket (Fluman et al., 2009). MdfA normally extrudes monovalent cationic drugs in exchange for a single proton, but it transports divalent cationic drugs poorly. It can be mutated to antiport a divalent cationic drug for 2 protons (Tirosh et al., 2012). Transporters acting across the inner and outer membranes have synergistic effects with each other, but transporters acting across the same membrane are usually additive but can be synergistic under special circumstances, owing to a bifurcation controlled by the barrier constant (Saha et al. 2020). Promiscuity in the geometry of electrostatic interactions between  MdfA and cationic substrates has been demonstrated (Adler and Bibi 2005). With respect to ethidium bromide, the inner membrane transporter MdfA is synergistic to the TolC-dependent efflux across the outer membrane (Saha et al. 2020). The conformational behavior of MdfA in response to substrate binding has been studied (Bahrenberg et al. 2021). Overexpression of the gene for MdfA allows export of Lacto-N-triose (LNT II) and lacto-N-tetraose (LNT), human milk oligosaccharides (Sugita and Koketsu 2022).

The vesicular monoamine transporter, VMAT2 (pumps dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin and histamine into synaptic vesicles) (Cliburn et al. 2016). VMAT2 physically and functionally interacts with the enzymes responsible for dopamine synthesis (Cartier et al., 2010).  Molecular hinge points mediating alternating access have been identified (Yaffe et al. 2013). The substituted amphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy), is a widely used drug of abuse that induces non-exocytotic release of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine through their cognate transporters as well as blocking the reuptake of neurotransmitter by the same transporters (Sealover et al. 2016). The slc18a2 gene is expressed at high levels in neuroepithelial cells (Pan et al. 2022). Synaptic vesicle proteins are selectively delivered to axons in mammalian neurons (Watson et al. 2023). VMAT2 may play a role in Parkinson's disease (Zhou et al. 2023). Dopaminergic cell protection and alleviation of neuropsychiatric disease symptoms are aleviated by VMAT2 expression (Lee et al. 2023).

The hippocampus abundant transcript-like 1 protein, HIATL1 or MFSD14B, of 506 aas and 12 TMSs (putative drug exporter) is a SLC18 family member. There is a correlation between a risk for colorectal cancer, alcohol consumption and variants in the 9q22.32/HIATL1 gene (Gong et al. 2016). MFSD14A (HIAT1) and MFSD14B (HIATL1) are in the mouse central nervous system throughout the adult brain (Lekholm et al. 2017). Expression of SLC22A18 regulates oxaliplatin resistance (Kim et al. 2022), and in cases of oxaliplatin resistance due to low SLC22A18 expression, resistance can be overcome by treatment with an ERK inhibitor (Kim et al. 2022). Two ammonia transporters, HIAT1alpha and HIAT1beta, in the American Horseshoe Crab, Limulus polyphemus, have been identified and characterized (Sachs et al. 2022). This gene is associated with milk production in buffalo and sheep breeds, as well as growth of chickens and goats, and drastically affect sperm formation (Luo et al. 2023). The functional InDel polymorphism (rs1089950828) reflects growth traits in domestic sheep populations (Luo et al. 2023).

NCL7 or MFSD8. Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, NCL, a neuro-degenerative genetic disease, is caused by mutations in at least 8 different human genes, one of which, CLN7 (MFSD8), is associated with late infantile NCL. CLN7 is localized to lysosomes (Sharifi et al., 2010).  Loss of this putative lysosomal transporter in the brain leads to lysosomal dysfunction, impaired constitutive autophagy and neurodegeneration late in the disease (Brandenstein et al. 2015). An in-frame deletion in the MFSD8 gene gave rise to neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 7 (Hosseini Bereshneh and Garshasbi 2018). In D. discoideum, it interacts with cathepsin D (CtsD), as well as human orthologs of CLN3 (Cln3) and CLN5 (Cln5) (Huber et al. 2020). In humans the defect can also affect cardiac conducting cells and cardiomyocytes as well as basophilic degeneration of myocardium. (Iannaccone Farkašová et al. 2019).  Moreover, loss of Mfsd8 alters the secretome during Dictyostelium aggregation (Huber et al. 2023).

MFS-type polyamine transporter SLC18B1 or VPAT (Solute carrier family 18 member B1) of 456 aas and 12 TMSs.  Polyamines synthesized in neurons and astrocytes are stored in secretory vesicles and released upon depolarization. Vesicular storage is mediated in an ATP-dependent, reserpine-sensitive process.  SLC18B1 is the fourth member of the SLC18 transporter family, which includes vesicular monoamine transporters and a vesicular acetylcholine transporter. Proteoliposomes containing purified human SLC18B1 protein actively transport spermine and spermidine in exchange of H+. The SLC18B1 protein is predominantly expressed in the hippocampus and is associated with vesicles in astrocytes. SLC18B1 gene knockdown decreased both the amount of the SLC18B1 protein and the spermine/spermidine contents of astrocytes (Hiasa et al. 2014).  Slc18b1 knock out mice have reduced polyamine content in the brain These mice have impaired short and long term memory in novel object recognition, radial arm maze and self-administration paradigms (Fredriksson et al. 2019). Moreover, Slc18b1 KO mice have altered expression of genes involved in Long Term Potentiation, plasticity, calcium signalling and synaptic functions, and expression of components of GABA and glutamate signalling are alterred. These mutants show partial resistance to diazepam, manifested as lowered reduction in locomotion after diazepam treatment. Possibly, removal of Slc18b1 leads to reduction of polyamine contents in neurons, resulting in reduced GABA signalling due to a long-term reduction in glutamatergic signalling (Fredriksson et al. 2019).  Polyamine release and vesicular polyamine transporter, SLC18B1; VPAT,. expression in megakaryoblastic cells and plateletshas been documented (Uehara et al. 2024).

SPX domain-containing membrane protein At1g63010, called Vacuolar Phosphate Transporter 1 (VPT1), It transports phosphate > sulphate > nitrate > chloride and malate.  The vpt1 mutant plants were stunted and consistently retained less Pi than wild type plants, especially when grown in medium containing high levels of Pi. In seedlings, VPT1 was expressed primarily in younger tissues under normal conditions, but was strongly induced by high-Pi conditions in older tissues, suggesting that VPT1 functions in Pi storage in young tissues and in detoxification of high Pi in older tissues. As a result, disruption of VPT1 rendered plants hypersensitive to both low-Pi and high-Pi conditions, reducing the adaptability of plants to changing Pi availability (Liu et al. 2015).

MFS carrier of 490 aas and 12 TMSs, MfsD14a or Hiat1 (Hippocampus abundant transcript 1 protein) is a member of the SLC18 family.  It is 76% identical to 2.A.1.2.30. Mutant mice (Mus musculus, strain 129S6Sv/Ev) were generated with the Mfsd14a gene disrupted with a LacZ reporter gene. Mutant mice are viable and healthy, but males are sterile due to a 100-fold reduction in the number of spermatozoa in the vas deferens. Male mice have adequate levels of testosterone and show normal copulatory behaviour. The few spermatozoa that are formed show rounded head defects similar to those found in humans with globozoospermia. Spermatogenesis proceeds normally up to the round spermatid stage, but the subsequent structural changes associated with spermiogenesis are severely disrupted with failure of acrosome formation, sperm head condensation and mitochondrial localization to the mid-piece of the sperm. Mfsd14a expression occurs in Sertoli cells, suggesting that MFSD14A may transport a solute from the bloodstream that is required for spermiogenesis (Doran et al. 2016). MFSD14A and MFSD14B are intracellular neuronal membrane-bound proteins, expressed in the Golgi and ER, and their levels of expression are affected by both starvation and a high fat diet to varying degrees in the mouse brain (Lekholm et al. 2017). It is associated with milk production in buffalo and sheep breeds, as well as growth of chickens and goats, and drastically affect s sperm morphogenesis (Luo et al. 2023).

Zinc-induced facilitator-like protein 1, ZIFL1 or Tpo1p  of 478 aas and 12 TMSs. It confers resistance to the herbicide, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and is transcriptionally activated in response to this herbicide. Tpo1p is required to reduce the intracellular concentration of 2,4-D (Cabrito et al. 2009). K+ may be its physiological substrate, and it may play a dual role in polar auxin transport and drought stress tolerance (Remy et al. 2013). It is also involved in auxin efflux and acts as a positive regulator of shootward transport at the root apex. Possibly, it may mediate proton efflux from the vacuolar compartment (Remy et al. 2013).

Multidrug resistance MDR exporter of 583 aas and 12 TMSs. It is involved in resistance to the antifungal drugs miconazole, tioconazole, clotrimazole and ketoconazole as well as to quinidine   (Costa et al. 2013; Costa et al. 2016).  It also plays a role in biofilm formation. Compared to the wild type, the C. glabrata ∆qdr2 mutant showed lower adhesion activity and higher fluconazole susceptibility when assessed as a biofilm. The mutant also showed decreased metabolic activity during biofilm formation and grew more slowly under neutral-basic pH conditions. The qdr2 deletion in C. glabrata resulted in an impaired ability to maintain pH homeostasis, which led in turn to a reduction of cell growth and of adherence to an artificial matrix (Widiasih Widiyanto et al. 2019). Mitochondrion-targeted antifungal drugs have been reviewed (Qin et al. 2023).

It mediates resistance to structurally and functionally unrelated compounds including cycloheximide but also azoles such as fuconazole, ketoconazole and itraconazole (Calabrese et al. 2000). It mediates efflux of histatin 5, a salivary human antimicrobial peptide, and is responsible for reduction of its toxicity in C.albicans (Li et al. 2013, Hampe et al. 2017). Mutations in the Erg251 ergosterol biosynthetic enzyme can also give rise to azole resistance (Zhou et al. 2024).

The Tet38 tetracycline-resistance protein of 450 aas and 14  TMSs of S. aureus (Truong-Bolduc et al., 2005). Tet38 has distinct functions, including drug efflux and host cell attachment and internalization mediated by interaction with host cell CD36. Truong-Bolduc et al. 2021 identified key amino acids involved in different functions. Cysteine substitutions of arginine 106, situated at the junction of TMS 4 and external loop L2, and glycine 151 of motif C on TMS 5, resulted in 8- to 16-fold reductions in Tet38-mediated resistance to tetracycline, with minimal effect on A549 host cell internalization. In contrast, two three-amino-acid deletions, F411P412G413, in external loop L7, situated between TMSs 13 and 14, and D38D39L40, in external loop L1, situated between TMS 1 and 2, led to decreased tetracycline resistance, but only the former affected S. aureus internalization and impaired binding to CD36 (Truong-Bolduc et al. 2021).

The P55 (MFS55) triglyceride (TAG)/drug efflux pump (Rv141Oc) (extrudes drugs including rifampicin and clifazimine, first- and second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs.) CCCP and valinomycin inhibited drug resistance (Ramón-García et al., 2009).  P55 also exports malachite green, ethidium bromide, isoniazid and ethambutol (Bianco et al. 2011).  It functions together with the outer membrane lipoprotein porin, LprG (P9WK45; TC# 9.B.138.1.1), also called P27 and Lpp-27 (Bianco et al. 2011; Farrow and Rubin 2008).  MFS55 is required together with LprG for normal colony morphology and sliding motility, possibly due to alterred cell wall composition (Farrow and Rubin 2008). MFS transporter Rv1410 and the periplasmic lipoprotein, LprG, transport triacylglycerides (TAGs) that seal the mycomembrane. Remm et al. 2023 reported a 2.7 Å structure of a mycobacterial Rv1410 homologue, which adopts an outward-facing conformation and exhibits unusual transmembrane helix 11 and 12 extensions that protrude ~20 Å into the periplasm. A small, very hydrophobic cavity suitable for lipid transport is constricted by a functionally important ion-lock likely involved in proton coupling. Combining mutational analyses and MD simulations, the authors proposed that TAGs are extracted from the core of the inner membrane into the central cavity via lateral clefts present in the inward-facing conformation. The functional role of the periplasmic helix extensions is to channel the extracted TAG into the lipid binding pocket of LprG (Farrow and Rubin 2008).  MFS55 is required together with LprG for normal colony morphology and sliding motility, possibly due to alterred cell wall composition (Farrow and Rubin 2008).

Multidrug-efflux transporter Rv1634/MT1670 of 471 aas and 14 TMSs.  Both Rv1634 and Rv1258c are believed to play a major role in drug resistance by altering the protein pump that is required to remove the active drug compounds from the bacterial cell (Panja et al. 2019). Ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin are substrates, to which M. tuberculosis strains have become resistant.

Drug resistance pump, EfpA of 530 aas and 14 TMSs.  May function with IniABC (see TC# 9.B.282), shown to influence resistance to several drugs (Colangeli et al. 2007).  CryoEM structures of the essential drug efflux pump EfpA from Mycobacterium tuberculosis reveal the mechanisms of substrate transport and small-molecule inhibition (Wang et al. 2024). It exists in an outward-open conformation, either bound to three endogenous lipids or the inhibitor BRD-8000.3. Three lipids inside EfpA span from the inner leaflet to the outer leaflet of the membrane. BRD-8000.3 occupies one lipid site at the level of inner membrane leaflet, competitively inhibiting lipid binding. EfpA resembles the related lysophospholipid transporter MFSD2A (TC# 2.A.2.3.8) in both overall structure and lipid binding sites and may function as a lipid flippase (Wang et al. 2024).

Trichothecene efflux pump, Tri12, of 590 aas and 14 TMSs (Lee et al. 2002). It may function as a phospholipid flippase, and five flippases (FgDnfA, B, C1, C2 and D have been identified  (Yun et al. 2020). FgDnfA is critical for normal vegetative growth while the other flippases are dispensable. FgDnfA and FgDnfD are crucial for fungal pathogenesis, and a remarkable reduction in deoxynivalenol (DON) production was observed in DeltaFgDNFA and DeltaFgDNFD strains. Deletion of the FgDNFB gene increased DON production to about 30 fold. FgDnfA and FgDnfD play positive roles in the regulation of trichothecene (TRI) gene (TRI1, TRI4, TRI5, TRI6, TRI12, and TRI101) expression and toxisome reorganization, while FgDnfB acts as a negative regulator of DON synthesis. FgDnfB and FgDnfD have redundant functions in the regulation of phosphatidylcholine transport, and double deletion of FgDNFB and FgDnfD showed defects in fungal development, DON synthesis, and virulence. Thus, the distinct and specific functions of flippase family members in F. graminearum have been determined, and FgDnfA, FgDnfD, and FgDnfB have specific spatiotemporal roles during toxisome biogenesis (Yun et al. 2020). This protein is 76% identical to the protein with TC# 2.A.1.3.47, and they probably catalyze the same reaction(s).

Antimony, SbIII and SbV, resistance MFS efflux protein of xxx aas and 14 TMSs in a 6 + 2 + 6 TMS arrangement with both 6 TMS domains having a 2 + 2 + 2 TMS arrangement (Yang et al. 2024). AntB is encoded on the chromosome of the arsenite-oxidizing bacterium Ensifer adhaerens E-60 that confers resistance to Sb(III) and Sb(V). The antB gene is adjacent to a gene encoding a LysR family transcriptional regulator termed LysRars, which is an As(III)/Sb(III)-responsive transcriptional repressor that is predicted to control expression of antB. Similar antB and lysRars genes are found in related arsenic-resistant bacteria, especially strains of Ensifer adhaerens, and the lysRars gene adjacent to antB encodes a member of a divergent subgroup of putative LysR-type regulators. Closely related AntB and LysRars orthologs contain three conserved cysteine residues, which are Cys17, Cys99, and Cys350 in AntB and Cys81, Cys289 and Cys294 in LysRars, respectively. Expression of antB is induced by As(III), Sb(III), Sb(V) and Rox(III) (4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl arsenite). Heterologous expression of antB in E. coli AW3110 (Δars) conferred resistance to Sb(III) and Sb(V) and reduced the intracellular concentration of Sb(III) (Yang et al. 2024).

2.A.1.5.1









β- and α-galactopyranoside:H+ symporter, LacY. Transports lactose, melibiose, thio-β-methyl galactopyranoside (TMG), isopropyl-β-thiogalactoside (IPTG), 4-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside, 4-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside and galactopyranosyl-1-glycerol. Single point mutations allow transport of sucrose and maltose (King and Wilson 1990).  Crystal structures and modeling reveal the cytoplasmic open state and the periplasmic open state (PDB ID: 1PV7). A structure with a bound lactose homolog, beta-D-galactopyranosyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactopyranoside, revealed the sugar-binding site in a cavity, and residues that play major roles in substrate recognition and proton translocation were identified (Abramson et al., 2003Pendse et al., 2010). The membrane lipid composition determines the topology of LacY (Dowhan and Bogdanov, 2011). Smirnova et al. (2011) have provided evidence that the opening of the periplasmic cavity in LacY is the limiting step for sugar binding. Evidence for an alternating sites mechanism of transport has been summarized (Smirnova et al., 2011). Eames and Kortemme (2012) have shown that when considering expression of the lac operon, LacY function (H+ co-transport) and not protein production is the primary origin of cost fitness. Homology threading of several MFS porters based on the LacY 3-d structure has been reported (Kasho et al., 2006). The alternating-access mechanism has been suggested to arise from inverted topological repeats (Radestock and Forrest, 2011; Madej et al. 2012), but this proposal has been contested (Västermark and Saier 2014; Västermark et al. 2014). Mechanistic features of LacY have been summarized (Kaback 2015). Insertion into the membrane depends on YidC (TC# 2.A.9.3.1) and may occur in a stepwise, stochastic manner employing multiple coexisting pathways to complete the folding process (Serdiuk et al. 2017). The glucose Enzyme IIA (Crr) protein binds LacY to allosterically inhibit its activity, promoting inducer exclusion (Hoischen et al. 1996; Hariharan et al. 2015). Protonated LacY binds D-galactopyranosides specifically, inducing an occluded state that can open to either side of the membrane (Kumar et al. 2014). LacY can form amyloid-like fibrils under destabilizing conditions (Stroobants et al. 2017). Multiple conformations of LacY have been solved (Kumar et al. 2018).  Direct interactions between LacY and its lipid environment uniquely contribute to its membrane protein organization and function (Vitrac et al. 2020). The lactose permease purified from E. coli exhibiting varied phospholipid compositions has the same topology and function as in its membrane of origin (Vitrac et al. 2019).

(Proline/glycine-betaine):(H+/Na+) symporter, ProP (also transports taurine, ectoine, pipecolate, proline-betaine, N,N-dimethylglycine, carnitine, and 1-carboxymethyl-pyridinium) (subject to osmotic activation). Transmembrane helix I and periplasmic loop 1 are involved in osmosensing and osmoprotectant transport (Keates et al., 2010). ProP detects the increase in cytoplasmic cation concentration associated with osmotically induced cell dehydration and mediates osmolyte uptake into bacteria (Ozturk et al. 2020). ProP is a 12-TMS protein with an α-helical, cytoplasmic C-terminal domain (CTD) linked to TMS XII. The CTD helix associates with the anionic membrane surface to lock ProP in an inactive conformation. The release of the CTD may activate ProP. Molecular dynamics simulations showed specific intrapeptide salt bridges forming when the CTD associated with the membrane. The salt bridge Lys447-Asp455 weakened CTD-lipid interactions at 0.25 M KCl, and gradual stiffening of the membrane with increasing salinity was obseerved. Thus, salt cations may affect CTD release and activate ProP by increasing the order of membrane phospholipids (Ozturk et al. 2020). ProP forestalls cellular dehydration by detecting environments with high osmotic pressure and mediating the accumulation of organic osmolytes by bacterial cells. Structural determinants and functional significance of dimerization have been described (Ozturk et al. 2023).

Rat kidney Na+-dependent glucose (methyl α-glucoside) transporter, NaGLT1 or SGLT1 (glucose:Na+:Na+=1:1) (Horiba et al., 2003). Position 170 of Rabbit Na+/glucose cotransporter (rSGLT1) lies in the Na+ pathway, and modulation of polarity/charge at this site regulates charge transfer and carrier turnover (Huntley et al. 2004). The fine-tuning of glucose uptake mechanisms is rendered by various glucose transporters with distinct transport characteristics. In the pancreatic islet, facilitative diffusion glucose transporters (GLUTs), and sodium-glucose cotransporters (SGLTs) contribute to glucose uptake and represent important components in the glucose-stimulated hormone release from endocrine cells, therefore playing a crucial role in blood glucose homeostasis (Berger and Zdzieblo 2020). SGLT1 and SGLT2 are therapeutic targets for various diseases (Sano et al. 2020), and function in glucose absorption in the small intestine (Vallon 2020). This glucose:Na+ symporter can transport the drug gastrodin, a seditive with a strcture of a phenolic glucoside (Huang et al. 2023).

Na+:glucose co-transporter of 672 aas and about 14 TMSs, SGLT2. It has a Na+ to glucose coupling ratio of 1:1 (Brown et al. 2019). Efficient substrate transport in the mammalian kidney is provided by the concerted action of a low affinity high capacity and a high affinity low capacity Na+/glucose cotransporter arranged in series along kidney proximal tubules. Inhibitors are antidiabetic agents (Li 2019; Singh and Singh 2020). They are also useful as theraputic agents of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and chronic kidney disease (Kanbay et al. 2020). Marein, an active component of the Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt plant, ameliorates diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting renal sodium glucose transporter 2 and activating the AMPK signaling pathway (Guo et al. 2020). NHE-3 (TC# 2.A.53.2.18) was markedly downregulated, while the Na+-HCO3--cotransporter (NBC-1; TC# 2.A.31.2.12) and SGLT2 were upregulated after kidney transplantation (Velic et al. 2004). Pharmacological inhibition of hSGLT2 by oral small-molecule inhibitors, such as empagliflozin, leads to enhanced excretion of glucose and is widely used in the clinic to manage blood glucose levels for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Niu et al. 2021 determined the cryogenic electron microscopic structure of the hSGLT2-MAP17 complex in the empagliflozin-bound state to a resolution of 2.95 Å. MAP17 interacts with transmembrane helix 13 of hSGLT2. Empagliflozin occupies both the sugar-substrate-binding site and the external vestibule to lock hSGLT2 in an outward-open conformation, thus inhibiting the transport cycle (Niu et al. 2021). There is no upregulation regarding host factors potentially promoting SARS-CoV-2 virus entry into host cells when the SGLT2-blocker empagliflozin, telmisartan and the DPP4-inhibitor blocker, linagliptin, are used (Xiong et al. 2022). Canagliflozin, dapagliflozin and ipragliflozin significantly inhibit the growth of different cancer cell lines in the micromolar range; SGLT2 inhibitors have antiproliferation, anti-tumorigenesis, and anti-migration effects and may induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors also results in the downregulation of selected genes (Bardaweel and Issa 2022). SGLT2 inhibitor treatment results in symptomatic and functional well-being, especially in relieving pain (Calderon-Rivera et al. 2022). Effects of SGLT2 inhibitors affect the heart and kidney to promote autophagic flux, nutrient deprivation signaling and transmembrane sodium transport (Zannad et al. 2022). Empagliflozin (EMPA), mainly acting on SGLT2, prevented DNA methylation changes induced by high glucose and provided evidence of a new mechanism by which SGLT2i can exert cardio-beneficial effects (Scisciola et al. 2023). A diversifiable synthetic platform for the discovery of new carbasugar SGLT2 inhibitors using azide-alkyne click chemistry has been described (Kitamura et al. 2023). SGLT2 is inhibited by empagliflozin (Raven et al. 2023). SGLT2 inhibitors not only suppress hyperglycemia but also reduce renal, heart, and cardiovascular diseases (Unno et al. 2023). In fact, SGLT2 may also be related to other functions, such as bone metabolism, longevity, and cognitive functions based on mouse models (Unno et al. 2023). Complex effects of different SGLT2 inhibitors on alphaKlotho gene expression (see TC family 8.A.49) and protein secretion in renal MDCK and HK-2 cells have been observed (Wolf et al. 2023). Ferulic acid-grafted chitosan (FA-g-CS) stimulates the transmembrane transport of anthocyanins by SGLT1 and GLUT2 (Ma et al. 2022). SGLT2 Inhibitors are potential anticancer agents (Basak et al. 2023). Analyses of the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on renal tubular sodium, water and chloride homeostasis as well as their roles in influencing heart failure outcomes has appeared (Packer et al. 2023).  The SGLT2 inhibitor, empagliflozin, alleviates cardiac remodeling and contractile anomalies in a FUNDC1-dependent manner in experimental Parkinson's disease (Yu et al. 2023). Type 2 diabetes guidance proposes offering SGLT2-inhibitor therapy to people with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or heart failure, but this suggestion has been questioned (Young et al. 2023). SGLT2 inhibition in a non-diabetic rat model of salt-sensitive hypertension blunts the development of salt-induced hypertension independent of sex (Kravtsova et al. 2023).  SGLT2 inhibitors are safe in humans, but they do not improve outcomes in patients hospitalised with COVID-19 (Vale et al. 2024).  Inhibition of SGLT2 protects podocytes in diabetic kidney disease by rebalancing mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (Li et al. 2024).

Nitrate/H+ symporter (K1);Nitrate/nitrite antiporter (K2).  The 3-d structure is available revealing a positively charged pathway for nitrate/nitrite lined with arginine residues with no apparent proton pathway suggesting exchange transport is the primary or sole mechanism.  The pathway is between the two halves of the protein and a rocker switch mechanism was proposed (Zheng et al. 2013).  In an in vitro reconstituted system, NarK appeared to be a nitrate/nitrite antiporter.  High-resolution crystal structures in the nitrate-bound occluded, nitrate-bound inward-open and apo inward-open states have been solved (Fukuda et al. 2015).

The 24 TMS, 2 domain, NarK1-NarK2 porter (NarK1 = a NO3-/H+ symporter; NarK2 = a NO3-/NO2- antiporter).  NarK1 is a nitrate/proton symporter with high affinity for nitrate while NarK2 is a nitrate/nitrite antiporter with lower affinity for nitrate (Goddard et al., 2008).  Each transporter requires two conserved arginine residues for activity.  A transporter consisting of inactivated NarK1 fused to active NarK2 has a dramatically increased affinity for nitrate compared with NarK2 alone, implying a functional interaction between the two domains (Goddard et al., 2008).

The root cortical and epidermal cell, high affinity, plasma membrane, NO3- uptake transporter, NRT2.1 (Wirth et al., 2007). Also functions in nitrate sensing and signaling (Miller et al., 2007; Girin et al., 2010). Activity only occurs when NRT2.1 is complexed with NAR2.1 (WR3; 8.A.20.1.1) in a 2:2 tetrameric complex (Yong et al., 2010). NAR2.1 has an N-terminal and a C-terminal TMS and has been annotated as a calcineurin-like phosphoesterase family member (Yong et al., 2010).  Ntr transporters may also play a role in gaseous NO2 uptake by leaves (Hu et al. 2014).  The Medicago truncatula orthologue has been characterized (Pellizzaro et al. 2014). An NRT2 homologue in wheat has been identifed and partially characterized (Kumar et al. 2022). Nitrate is the main form of inorganic nitrogen that crops absorb, and nitrate transporters 2 (NRT2) are high affinity nitrate uptake porters. When the available nitrate is limiting, the high affinity transport systems are activated. Most NRT2s cannot transport nitrates alone and require the assistance of helper proteins belonging to nitrate assimilation related family (NAR2; TC# 8.A.20.1.1) to complete the transport of nitrate (Zhao et al. 2023). Crop nitrogen utilization efficiency is affected by environmental conditions, and there are differences between different plant varieties.  Sorghum bicolor has high stress tolerance and is efficient in soil nitrogen utilization. The S. bicolor genome database was scanned for gene structures, chromosomal localizations, physicochemical properties, secondary structures and transmembrane domains, signal peptides and subcellular localizations, promoter region cis-acting elements, phylogenetic evolution, SNP recognition and annotation, and selection pressure of gene family members (Zhao et al. 2023). Through bioinformatics analysis, 5 NRT2 gene members (designated as SbNRT2-1a, SbNRT2-1b, SbNRT2-2, SbNRT2-3, and SbNRT2-4) and 2 NAR2 gene members (designated SbNRT3-1 and SbNRT3-2) were identified, the number of which was less than that of foxtail millet. SbNRT2/3 could be divided into four subfamilies. All were present in the plasma membrane; SbNRT2 proteins lacked signal peptides, but SbNRT3 proteins contained them. Expression was responsive to plant hormones and stress response elements (Zhao et al. 2023).

The narK1 and narK2 genes are located in an operon, narK1K2GHJI, with the structural genes for the nitrate reductase complex.  Utilizing an isogenic narK1 mutant, a narK2 mutant, and a narK1K2 double mutant, Sharma et al. 2006 explored the effect on growth under denitrifying conditions. While the ΔnarK1::Gm mutant was only slightly affected, but both the ΔnarK2::Gm and double mutants exhibited poor nitrate-dependent, anaerobic growth although all three strains had wild-type levels of nitrate reductase activity. Nitrate uptake measurements showed that NarK2 has most of the activity.  E. coli narK rescued both mutants.

Inorganic phosphate transporter 1-1 (AtPht1;1; APT2, PHT1) (H+/Pi cotransporter).  A Brassica napus homologue, Pht1;4, catalyzes phosphate uptake and affects root architecture (Ren et al. 2014). The phylogeny and expression levels in plant tissues of the proteins of this family in potato have been examined (Liu et al. 2017).

Phosphate transporter and receptor (transceptor) of 543 aas and 12 TMSs.  Important for signalling and uptake of phosphate.  The majority of terrestrial vascular plants can form mutualistic associations with obligate biotrophic arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi from the phylum Glomeromycota. This mutualistic symbiosis provides carbohydrates to the fungus, and reciprocally improves plant phosphate uptake. AM fungal transporters can acquire phosphate from the soil through the hyphal networks. Xie et al. 2016 reported a high-affinity phosphate transporter GigmPT that is required for AM symbiosis. GigmPT functions as a phosphate transceptor for the activation of the phosphate signaling pathway as well as the protein kinase A signaling cascade.

The sialic acid porter, NanT, of 496 aas and 14 TMSs.  N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) serves as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen for E. coli.  It is a mucus-derived carbon source in the mammalian gut. NanT can also take up and allow efficient growth on the related sialic acids, N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) and 3-keto-3-deoxy-d-glycero-d-galactonononic acid (KDN) (Hopkins et al. 2013).

It is induced during infection, being upregulated following the phagocytosis of C. albicans cells by neutrophils and macrophages.  It may be important during early stages of virulence (Vieira et al. 2010). In  the acid-tolerant yeast, Pichia kudriavzevii, it transports the above mentioned dicarboxylates as well as α-ketoglutarate (sometimes) and citrate, and possibly lactate (Xi et al. 2021).

It may be important for virulence (Soares-Silva et al. 2013; Vieira et al. 2010). It may be the only lactate uptake porter and is subject to glucose catabolite repression. However, growth on lactate affects biofilm formation, morphology and susceptibility to fluconazole, and both Jen1 and Jen2 may play a role in these processes. Thus, the adaptation of Candida cells to the carbon source present in the host niches affects their pathogenicity (Alves et al. 2017; Alves et al. 2020).

2.A.1.13:  The Monocarboxylate Transporter (MCT) Family (Halestrap, 2011)

MCTs play roles in the absorption, tissue distribution, and clearance of both endogenous and exogenous compounds. MCTs are required for the transport of essential cell nutrients and for cellular metabolic and pH regulation (Jones and Morris 2016).

2.A.1.13.1









The low affinity proton-linked monocarboxylate (lactate, pyruvate, mevalonate, branched chain oxo acids, β-hydroxybutyrate, γ-hydroxybutyrate, butyrate, acetoacetate, acetate and formate, succinate) uptake/efflux porter (Moschen et al. 2012; Reddy et al. 2020). pH-gated succinate secretion regulates muscle remodeling in response to exercise (Reddy et al. 2020). The structural basis of MCT1 inhibition by anti-cancer drugs has been considered (Wang et al. 2020). MCT1 also transports anti-tumor alkylating agents, 3-bromopyruvate and dichloroacetate (Cooper et al. 1989; Su et al. 2016; Bailey et al. 2019) as well as artemisinin (Girardi et al. 2020). Activity is stimulated by direct interaction with carbonic anhydrase isoform II (Becker et al., 2005). This transporter interacts physically with the chaperone protein Basigin (CD147; TC #8.A.23.1.1) which is required both for targetting to the plasma membrane and for activity. Mct-2 uses a different chaperone protein, GP70. Mct-1 also transports the methionine hydroxy analogue 2-hydroxy (4-methylthio) butanate (Martin-Venegas et al., 2007; Becker and Deitmer, 2008). MCT1, 3 and 4 require the ancillary protein, basigin (P35613; 8.A.23.1.1) for plasma membrane localization (Ovens et al., 2010).  It partially localizes to the peroxysomal membrane (Visser et al. 2007). MCT1 is regulated by CD147 proteins, and this association is important for lactate export and cell proliferation in certain cancer cells (Walters et al. 2013).  It is upregulated in some cancers and maintains the metabolic phenotype of these cancer cells by mediating lactate efflux together with a proton, promoting pH homeostasis (Baltazar et al. 2014). MCT-1 functions as a positive regulator of osteoblast differentiation via suppression of p53 (Sasa et al. 2018). It plays a role in aggressive breast cancer subtypes (Li et al. 2018) as well as other cancers (Park et al. 2018).  The SLC16A1 gene is a potential marker to predict race performance in Arabian horses (Ropka-Molik et al. 2019). MCT1 is a negative regulator and MCT2 and a positive regulator of osteoclast differentiation, while MCT2 is required for bone resorption by osteoclasts (Imai et al. 2019). MCTs 1 and 4 are present in increased amounts in solid tumors, and inhibitors as potential therapeutics have been reviewed (Puri and Juvale 2020). Interleukin-1beta induces monocarboxylate transporter-1 in an oxygen tension-dependent manner (Tanaka et al. 2022). Substrate protonation is a pivotal step in the mechanisms of several MCT-unrelated weak acid translocating proteins, but utilization of the proton binding and transfer capabilities of the transporter-bound substrate is probably a universal theme for weak acid anion/H+ cotransport (Geistlinger et al. 2023). This transporter is over expressed in breast cancer (Arponen et al. 2023). Fasting upregulates MCT1 at the rat blood-brain barrier through PPAR δ activation (Chasseigneaux et al. 2024).  The anticancer effect of androgen deprivation therapy can be enhanced by an MCT1 inhibitor in prostate cancer cells (Kim et al. 2024).  Sulforaphane (SFN)  inhibits non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) growth and metastasis by reducing lactate production by regulating the expressions of monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) and MCT4 that transport lactate across cell membrane (Shi et al. 2024).  The N-terminal signature motif on MCT1 is critical for CD147-mediated trafficking (see TC#s 3.A.3.2.1 and 8.A.23.1.1as well as 2.A.1.13.1) (Seka et al. 2024).

The low affinity aromatic amino acid (Tyr, Trp, Phe) transporter, TAT1 (T-type amino acid transporter), MCT10, Slc16a10.  Also transports N-methyl amino acids and thyroid hormones.  Essential for aromatic amino acid homeostasis in various tissues of mice (Mariotta et al. 2012). MCT10 is 58% identical to MCT8. Both transporters mediate T3 transport, but while MCT8 also transports rT3 and T4, these compounds are not efficiently transported by MCT10.  A few amino acyl residue substitutions in the human orthologue broadens the substrate specificity of this porter (Johannes et al. 2016). The Six1 trahscription factor promotes a skeletal muscle thyroid hormone response through regulation of the MCT10 transporter (Girgis et al. 2021).

The thyroid hormone transporter, MCT8 (transports L- and D-isomers of thyroxine (T4), 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T3), 3,3'5'-triiodothyronine (rT3) and 3,3'-diiodothyronine [Km values = 2-5 μM; Leu, Phe, Trp and Tyr were not transported]) (Friesema et al., 2003). Loss of function mutations in MCT8 leads to Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome, severe X-linked psychomotor retardation and elevated serum T3 levels (Jansen et al., 2008). Essential molecular determinants for thyroid hormone transport and their structural implications are presented by Kinne et al. (2010). Induced by retinoic acid (Kogai et al., 2010). Mediates energy-independent bidirectional transport. MCT8 is specific for L-iodothyronines and requires at least one iodine atom per aromatic ring. Thyronamines, decarboxylated metabolites of iodothyronines, triiodothyroacetic acid and tetraiodothyroacetic acid, TH derivatives lacking both chiral center and amino group, are not substrates (Kinne et al., 2010). A deficiency causes altered thyroid morphology and a persistent high triiodothyronine/thyroxine ratio after thyroidectomy (Wirth et al., 2011). Primary and secondary thyroid hormone transporters have been reviewed (Kinne et al., 2011). A differential effect of a shortage of thyroid hormone was observed compared with a knockout of thyroid hormone transporters Mct8 and Mct10 on murine macrophage polarization (Hoen et al. 2024).

Low affinity monocarboxylate transporter-2 (MCT2). Transports γ-hydroxybutyrate (Wang and Morris, 2007). MCT2 requires the ancillary protein, embigin (Q6PCB8; 8.A.23.1.2) for plasma membrane localization (Ovens et al., 2010). It is present in neurons but not astrocytes where the low affinity MCT1 and MCT4 predominate (Hertz and Dienel 2013). Partially localizes to the peroxysomal membrane (Visser et al. 2007). MCT1 is a negative regulator and MCT2 a positive regulator of osteoclast differentiation, while MCT2 is required for bone resorption by osteoclasts (Imai et al. 2019). Atorvastatin exerts more selective inhibitory effects on hMCT2 than on hMCT1 and hMCT4 (Yamaguchi et al. 2023).

MCT2 (SLC16A7) of Homo sapiens

Plasma membrane proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter, MCT4 or MCT-4 (SLC16A3). It catalyzes the rapid low affinity plasma membrane transport of many monocarboxylates such as lactate, pyruvate, branched-chain oxo acids derived from leucine, valine and isoleucine, and the ketone bodies acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetate.  It is the main transporter that catalyzes lactate efflux from glycolyzing cells (Halestrap 2013; Papakonstantinou et al. 2021).  Residues binding high affinity inhibitors have been identified (Nancolas et al. 2015).  It forms a complex with binding partner, CD147/BSG, which regulates the transport activity (Fisel et al. 2015). It plays a role in aggressive breast cancer subtypes (Li et al. 2018) as well as other cancers (Park et al. 2018).  MCT4 may be a therapeutic target for colorectal cancer (Kim et al. 2018). MCTs 1 and 4 are present in increased amounts in solid tumors, and inhibitors are potential therapeutics (Puri and Juvale 2020). Anagliptin promotes apoptosis in mouse colon carcinoma cells via MCT-4/lactate-mediated intracellular acidosis (Li et al. 2022). Dietary folate deficiency promotes lactate metabolic disorders that sensitize lung cancer metastasis through mTOR-signaling-mediated targets (Chen et al. 2023). Shikonin reduced MCT4 expression and activation, resulting in inhibition of aerobic glycolysis in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and overcoming CAF-induced gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer (PC). Shikonin is a promising chemosensitizing phytochemical agent when used in combination with gemcitabine for PC treatment. The results suggest that disrupting the metabolic coupling between cancer cells and stromal cells might provide an attractive strategy for improving gemcitabine efficacy (Hu et al. 2024).  Sulforaphane (SFN)  inhibits non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) growth and metastasis by reducing lactate production by regulating the expressions of monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) and MCT4 that transport lactate across cell membrane (Shi et al. 2024).

Monocarboxylate transporter-5 (MCT5 or SLC16A4; sometimes referred to as MCT4). Lactate transport via the MCT5 is non enzymatically stimulated by carbonic anhydrase II (Becker et al., 2010). MCTs require an ancillary 1TMS glycoprotein, either Embigin (Q6PCB8; TC# 8.A.23.1.2) or basigin (P35613; TC# 8.A.23.1.1) for plasma membrane localization (Ovens et al., 2010).  Upregulated in some cancers and maintains the metabolic phenotype of these cancer cells by mediating lactate efflux together with a proton, promoting pH homeostasis (Baltazar et al. 2014).  Also transports the chemotheraputic agent, 3-bromopyruvate (Baltazar et al. 2014).

MCT8 (SLC16a2) homodimeric monocarboxylate thyroid hormone transporter 8 of 613 or 539 aas and 12 TMSs (Visser et al. 2009; Arjona et al., 2011).  It is the X-linked mental retardation Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS) (a severe psychomotor retardation syndrome) protein (Schweizer and Köhrle 2012; Boccone et al. 2010; Johannes et al. 2016). Lack of MCT8 function produces serious neurological disturbances, most likely due to impaired transport of thyroid hormones across brain barriers during development, resulting in severe brain hypothyroidism (Grijota-Martínez et al. 2020). Arg residues important for function have been identified (Groeneweg et al. 2013).  Thyroid hormone (TH) transporters in the brain and across the blood brain barrier have been reviewed (Wirth et al. 2014; Bernal et al. 2015). The product facilitates both TH uptake and efflux across the cell membrane. The disease goes together with low serum T4 and high T3 levels. The mechanisms underlying MCT8-deficient brain development in various animal models including humans has been reviewed (Vancamp and Darras 2017). Together with OATP1C1 (TC# 2.A.60.1.15), MCT8 controls skeletal muscle regeneration (Mayerl et al. 2018).  Deafness and loss of cochlear hair cells occurs in the absence of thyroid hormone transporters, Slc16a2 (Mct8) and Slc16a10 (Mct10) (Sharlin et al. 2018). Stable levels of MCT8 protein in endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier, choroid plexus epithelial cells and tanycytes during postnatal development has been demonstrated (Wilpert et al. 2020). Oligomerization involves noncovalent interactions between the N-terminal halves of MCT8 proteins (Groeneweg et al. 2020). Genetic variants in MCT8, cause intellectual and motor disability and abnormal serum thyroid function tests, known as MCT8 deficiency (van Geest et al. 2020). Shaji 2021 identified natural inhibitors against MCT8. Emodin exhibited the best binding energy of -8.6 kcal/mol followed by helenaquinol, cercosporamide and resveratrol. Emodin and helenaquinol exhibit high binding energy. Cercosporamide and resveratrol exhibited higher binding energy than triac and desipramine and showed the binding energy similar to silychristin. Thus, these compounds could be promising candidates for further evaluation for AHDS prevention. MCT8 deficiency induces severe X-linked psychomotor retardation (Iwayama et al. 2021). It is common and severe in homozygous males (one X chromosome) but mild in heterozygous females (XX) (Dumitrescu et al. 2004). Thyroid normone transporters MCT8 and OATP1C1 are expressed in pyramidal neurons and interneurons in the adult motor cortex of human and macaque brains (Wang et al. 2023). Thyroid hormone transporters MCT8 and OATP1C1 are expressed in projection neurons and interneurons of basal ganglia and motor thalamus in adult human brains (Wang et al. 2023). MCT8 plays a vital role in maintaining brain thyroid hormone homeostasis. This transporter is expressed at the brain barriers, as the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and in neural cells, being the sole known thyroid hormone-specific transporter to date. Inactivating mutations in the MCT8 gene cause the Allan-Herndon-Dudley Syndrome (AHDS) or MCT8 deficiency, a rare X-linked disease characterized by delayed neurodevelopment and severe psychomotor disorders as well as BBB leakage (Guillén-Yunta et al. 2023). A novel SLC16A2 gene mutation produced a rare case of delayed myelination with dysthyroidism, v Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (Mahesan et al. 2023). MCT8 inhibitors include methylmercury, bisphenol-AF and bisphenol-Z as well as previously known MCT8 inhibitors (Wagenaars et al. 2024).  Monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) mediates the cellular delivery of thyroid hormones, L-thyroxine (T4) and 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3). In humans, the MCT8 protein is encoded by the SLC16A2 gene, and mutations in the transporter cause a genetic neurological disorder known as Allan-Herndon-Dudley Syndrome (AHDS). MCT8 deficiency leads to impaired transport of thyroid hormones in the brain (Giri et al. 2024).

Solute carrier family 16, member 5 (monocarboxylic acid transporter 6) of 505 aas and 12 TMSs. Found on the luminal side of small intestinal epithelial cells (Kohyama et al. 2013). MCT6 mediates uptake of nateglinide, an oral hypoglycemic agent. The K(t) for nateglinide is 46 μM. Thus, MCT6 may play a role in the intestinal absorption of nateglinide, although other transporters are also likely to be involved (Kohyama et al. 2013). 5-carboxyfluorescein is also a substrate of this system, and uptake is stimulated by Cl- (Higuchi 2024).

Lysosomal sialate transporter (Salla disease and infantile sialate storage disease protein, Sialin, of 419 aas and 12 TMSs (Morin et al., 2004)). Also transports glucuronic acid and aspartate. Structure-function studies have identify crucial residues and substrate-induced conformational changes (Courville et al., 2010). Also called SLC17A5. The substrate binding pocket has been identified based on modeling studies (Pietrancosta et al., 2012).  NAAG (N-acetylaspartylglutamate) an abundant neuropeptide in the vertebrate nervous system that is released from synaptic terminals in a calcium-dependent manner and acts as an agonist at the type II metabotropic glutamate receptor mGluR3, is transported into synaptic vesicles before it is secreted. Lodder-Gadaczek et al. 2013 demonstrate that vesicular uptake of NAAG and the related peptide NAAG2 (N-acetylaspartylglutamylglutamate) is mediated by sialin (SLC17A5). Sialin is probably the only vesicular transporter for NAAG and NAAG2, because transport of both peptides was not detectable in vesicles isolated from sialin-deficient mice.  Sialin also transports nitrate in the plasma membrane of salivary glands (Qin et al. 2012). Sialin interacts with nitrate and participates in the regulation of NO production and cell biological functions for body homeostasis (Wang and Qin 2022). Sialin mediates the flux of sialic acid from lysosomes to the cytoplasm (Li et al. 2022). Altered sialin mRNA expression in the main tissues of male type 2 diabetes rats has been documented (Yousefzadeh et al. 2023).  Base editing corrects the common Salla disease SLC17A5 c.115C>T variant (Harb et al. 2023).

The broad specificity brain synaptic vesicle anion transporter, VGLUT-2 (transports glutamate in a Δψ-dependent fashion requiring Cl-, but phosphate by a Na+-dependent mechanism via a different pathway/mechanism (Juge et al., 2006). VGLUT1-3 concentrate glutamate into synaptic vesicles before its exocytotic release. Two distinct roles for Cl- in both allosteric activation and permeation have been proposed (Chang et al. 2018). The 3-D structure has been solved at 3.8 Å resolution revealing mechanisms of substrate recognition and allosteric activation by low pH and Cl-. It shows how the activities of VGLUTs are coordinated by changes in proton and chloride concentration during the synaptic vesicle cycle (Li et al. 2020).

The vesicular purine nucleotide (ADP, ATP, GTP) transporter, VNUT or SLC17A9. It is found in synaptic vesicles and chromafin granules (Sawada et al., 2008)) and is associated with disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP), a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis (Cui et al. 2014). It plays a key role in purinergic signaling through its ability to transport nucleotides using the pmf. It catalyzes Cl--dependent transport activity involving essential arginines in the transmembrane region. Ketoacids inhibit these transporters through modulation of Cl- activation, but Cl- and the arginine residues are not important for ATP binding (Iwai et al. 2019). High expression of SLC17A9 correlates with a poor prognosis for colorectal cancer (Yang et al. 2019).

Vesicular glutamate transporter 1, VGluT1 or PNP1 of 560 aas and 12 TMSs. Brain-specific Na+-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter; Solute carrier family 17 member 7). Several proteins must be retrieved to the synaptic vesicle before it can export neurotransmitters, and cargo retrieval is a collective cargo-driven process, dependent on VGluT1 (Pan et al. 2015).  The amino-terminal and carboxyl-terminal regions of VGLUT2 in membranes face the cytoplasm (Jung et al. 2006). It is involved in nervous system diseases (Du et al. 2020). VGLUT1 and VGLUT2, selectively label and define functionally distinct neuronal subpopulations at each relay level of the neural hierarchies comprising spinal and trigeminal sensory systems (Zhang et al. 2018). An overview of the physiologic sites for VGLUT regulation that can modulate glutamate release in an over-active synapse or in a disease state has been presented (Pietrancosta et al. 2020).

Vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGluT3) (Solute carrier family 17 member 8). Loss in mice produces circadian-dependent hyperdopaminergia and amiliorates motor disfunction and dopa-mediated dyskinesias in a model of Parkinson's Disease (Divito et al. 2015). VGLUT3 is expressed selectively in the inner hair cells (IHCs) and transports the neurotransmitter glutamate into synaptic vesicles. Mutation of the SLC17A8 gene is associated with DFNA25 (deafness, autosomal dominant 25), a non-syndromic hearing loss (ADNSHL) in humans (Ryu et al. 2016). Glut3 contributes to stress response and related psychopathologies (Horváth et al. 2018). An adeno-associated virus carrying the Slc17a8 gene restored vesicular Glut3 in the inner hair cells of the cochlea, thereby rescuing loss in mice that lacked Glut3 (Mathiesen et al. 2023).

L-galactonate transporter, YjjL or DgoT of 460 aas and 12 TMSs. The D-galactonate transporter DgoT has been solved at atomic resolution (Dmitrieva et al. 2024). Protonation of D46 and E133 precedes galactonate binding, and substrate binding induces closure of the extracellular gate, with the conserved R47 coupling substrate binding to transmembrane helix movement. After isomerization to an inward-facing conformation, deprotonation of E133 and subsequent proton transfer from D46 to E133 opens the intracellular gate and permits galactonate dissociation either in its unprotonated form or after proton transfer from E133. After release of the second proton, apo DgoT returns to the outward-facing conformation (Dmitrieva et al. 2024).

Under microaerobic conditions, cells deficient in heme biosynthesis and lacking the heme receptor Shu1 exhibit poor hemin-dependent growth in the absence of Tpx1, a cytoplasmic heme binding protein. Tpx1 exhibits an equilibrium constant value of 0.26 muM for hemin. The association of Tpx1 with hemin protects hemin from degradation by H2O2, and the peroxidase activity of hemin is lowered when it is bound to Tpx1 (Normant et al. 2020).

2.A.1.19:  The Organic Cation Transporter (OCT) Family (The SLC22A family including OCT1-3, OCTN1-3 and OAT1-5 of H. sapiens)

This family has been described by Koepsell 2013.  It contains 13 functionally characterized human plasma membrane proteins.The family includes organic cation transporters (OCTs), organic zwitterion/cation transporters (OCTNs), and organic anion transporters (OATs). The transporters operate as (1) uniporters which mediate facilitated diffusion (OCTs and some OCTNs), (2) anion exchangers (OATs), and (3) some Na+/zwitterion cotransporters (OCTNs). They participate in small intestinal absorption and hepatic and renal excretion of drugs, xenobiotics and endogenous compounds and perform homeostatic functions in the brain and heart. Important endogeneous substrates include monoamine neurotransmitters, l-carnitine, alpha-ketoglutarate, cAMP, cGMP, prostaglandins and urate. Mutations in the SLC22 genes cause specific diseases like primary systemic carnitine deficiency and idiopathic renal hypouricemia and are correlated with diseases such as Crohn's disease and gout. Drug-drug interactions at individual transporters may change pharmacokinetics and toxicities of drugs (Koepsell 2013). Models of Octs resemble GLUT3 (PDB ID# 5C65) and have an intracellular three/four-helix loop between TMH6 and TMH7 containing putative phosphorylation sites for precise regulation of hOCTs. The models allow prediction of substrate binding sites (Dakal et al. 2017). Interactions with therapeutic herbal products, dietary supplements, and clinically important drugs are discussed, and the significance of these transporters in modulating the severity of drug-related side effects and toxicity mechanisms have been reviewed (Mor et al. 2018). OCTs are highly expressed on the plasma membranes of polarized epithelia, thus, playing a key role in intestinal absorption and renal reabsorption of nutrients (e.g., choline and carnitine), in the elimination of waste products (e.g., trimethylamine and trimethylamine N-oxide), and in the kinetic profile and therapeutic index of several drugs (e.g., metformin and platinum derivatives) (Samodelov et al. 2020). SLC22 is a family of drug/metabolite exporters (i.e., OAT1) speicific for (1) drugs and natural products, (2) antibiotics (i.e., cefazolin) and antiviral agents (i.ie., adefovir), (3) chemo-theraputic agents (i.e., methotrexate), (4) antioxidants (i.e., uric acid) that decrease oxidative stress and aging, (5) protaglandins (i.e., PG F2a), (6) gut microbial metabolites (i.e., hippuric acid and trimethylamine oxide, TMAO),  (7) other compounds including bile acids (Granados et al. 2021; Zhang et al. 2021). Their functions are similar in flies and mammals.

2.A.1.19.1









The basolateral multivalent, potential-sensitive, organic cation (tetramethyl-ammonium; N'-methylnicotinamide; cationic drugs, xenobiotics, vitamins, neuro-transmitters, etc.) transporter (uni-porter)-1, Oct1.  Cysteyl residues essential for transport and substrate binding have been identified (Sturm et al. 2007). Subtype-specific affinity of rat organic cation transporters rOCT1 and rOCT2 for corticosterone depends on three amino acids within the substrate binding region (Gorboulev et al. 2005). Differences in metformin and thiamine uptake between human and mouse Oct1 transporters have been demonstrated (Meyer et al. 2020). Methods for the quantification of organic cation transporters' mediated metformin uptake and its inhibition in cells have been developed (Bajraktari-Sylejmani et al. 2024).

The ergothionine/carnitine/hydroxyurea/organic zwitterion transporter, OCTN1 or SVOP (SLC22A4). It is upregulated in polycythemia vera hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (Tan and Meier-Abt 2021). It is associated with rheumatoid arthritis (Barton et al., 2005).  Acetylcholine is a physiological substrate, and its transport could be involved in nonneuronal cholinergic functions (Pochini et al. 2013).  OCTN1 and OCTN2 are associated with several pathologies, such as inflammatory bowel disease, primary carnitine deficiency, diabetes, neurological disorders, and cancer. It transports TEA, and transoirts acetylcholine better than acetylcarnitine (Pochini et al. 2015). Molecular perturbations across several metabolite classes precede autism. The cyclic dipeptide cyclo-leucine-proline and the carnitine-related 5-aminovaleric acid betaine (5-AVAB) were associated with an increased probability for autism, independently of known prenatal and genetic risk factors. Analysis of genetic and dietary data in adults revealed that 5-AVAB was associated with increased habitual dietary intake of dairy and with variants near SLC22A4 and SLC22A5 coding for transmembrane carnitine transporter proteins involved in controlling intracellular carnitine levels (Ottosson et al. 2024).

The polyspecific organic cation (L- and D-carnitine, butyryl-L-carnitine, acetyl carnitine, γ-butyro-betaine, glycinebetaine, β-lactam antibiotics with a quaternary nitrogen such as cephaloridine, and others):Na+ symporter, OCTN2 (SLC22A5). Carnitine is transporter with high affinity (2 - 20 μM0 (Ingoglia et al. 2015). Associated with Crohn''s disease (Barton et al., 2005) as well as primary carnitine deficiency.  The protein is glycosylated on extracytoplasmic asparagines, and these residues are in a region important for function and turnover (Filippo et al. 2011).  OCTN2 maintains the carnitine homeostasis, resulting from intestinal absorption, distribution to tissues, and renal excretion/reabsorption (Pochini et al. 2013).  OCTN1 and OCTN2 are associated with several pathologies, such as inflammatory bowel disease, primary carnitine deficiency, diabetes, neurological disorders, and cancer.  OCTN2 is activated in a process dependent on Caveolin1 (Q03135) which interacts directly with OCTN2 and by protein kinase C which does not phosphorylate OCTN2 directly (Czeredys et al. 2013). Cholesterol stimulates the cellular uptake of L-carnitine by the carnitine/organic cation transporter novel 2 (OCTN2) (Zhang et al. 2020). A dataset of OCTN2 variant functions and localization has been created, revealing important disease-causing mechanisms (Koleske et al. 2022).  Primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) is caused by pathogenic variants of the SLC22A5 gene, which encodes a high affinity carnitine transporter. Carnitine is essential for the transport of acyl-CoA, produced from fatty acids, into the mitochondria where they are oxidised to produce energy (Khries et al. 2023). OctN2 transports doxorubicin (Yi et al. 2023). A novel pathogenic variant in the carnitine transporter gene, SLC22A5, is associated with metabolic carnitine deficiency and cardiomyopathy features (Jolfayi et al. 2024). Molecular perturbations across several metabolite classes precede autism. The cyclic dipeptide cyclo-leucine-proline and the carnitine-related 5-aminovaleric acid betaine (5-AVAB) were associated with an increased probability for autism, independently of known prenatal and genetic risk factors. Analysis of genetic and dietary data in adults revealed that 5-AVAB was associated with increased habitual dietary intake of dairy and with variants near SLC22A4 and SLC22A5 coding for transmembrane carnitine transporter proteins involved in controlling intracellular carnitine levels (Ottosson et al. 2024).

The polyspecific organic anion, cation and neutral molecule transporter, Oat1 (Slc22a6) (transports neutral compounds such as cardiac glycosides [i.e., ouabain] and steroids [i.e., aldosterone; cortisol; dexamethasone]; cationic compounds such as N-propylajmalinium, and anionic compounds such as p-aminohippurate, dicarboxylates, cyclic nucleotides, prostaglandins, urate, β-lactam antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, diuretics, bile salts and steroid conjugates [i.e., estrone-3-sulfate and estradiol-17-glucuronide]) transporter (H+ symporter or uniporter) Probably catalyzes organic anion (uptake):dicarboxylate (efflux) antiport in the basolateral membrane of kidney proximal tubules) (Eraly et al., 2003a,b). A 3-dimensional model of OAT1 has led to the identification of residues involved in differential transport of substrates such as p-aminohippurate and cidofovir (Perry et al., 2006). Oat1 transports many antiviral agents (Truong et al., 2008).  The human orthologue (Q4U2R8; 563aas) has been shown to be a multispecific organic anion transporter on the basolateral membrane of the proximal tubule in human kidney (Hosoyamada et al. 1999). A substrate binding hinge domain is required for transport-related structural changes (Egenberger et al., 2012). Transports environmental toxins and clinically important drugs including anti-HIV therapeutics, anti-tumor drugs, antibiotics, anti-hypertensives, and anti-inflammatories (Duan et al., 2011). hOAT1 has two GXXXG motifs in TMSs 2 and 5 which play critical roles in stability (Duan et al., 2011).  Both OAT1 and OAT3 of humans are inhibited by caffeic acid (Ki ~ 17 μM) (Uwai et al. 2011).

Selectivity: Cs+ > Rb+ > K+ > Na+ %u2248 Li+ (Schmitt and Koepsell, 2005)) Chloride dependent, but a single mutation (R466K) abolishes this dependency (Rizwan et al., 2007).

Mediates paraquat (herbicide) neurotoxicity (Rappold et al., 2011). SLC22 transporters involved in drug elimination and organ distribution are polyspecific. The cryo-EM structure of SLC22A3 (OCT3) is available (Meyer-Tönnies and Tzvetkov 2023). OCT3 and MATE2 genetic polymorphisms can give rise to poor responses to metformin in type 2 diabetes mellitus (Naem et al. 2024).

The human organic cation transporter, SLC22A17.  The rat orthologue may be inactive (Bennett et al. 2011). It is also the cell surface receptor for Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) that plays a key role in iron homeostasis and transport. It is able to bind iron-LCN2, followed by internalization and release of iron, thereby increasing intracellular iron concentration and leading to inhibition of apoptosis (Cabedo Martinez et al. 2016). It also binds iron-free LCN2, followed by internalization and its association with an intracellular siderophore, leading to iron chelation and iron transfer to the extracellular medium, thereby reducing intracellular iron concentrations and resulting in apoptosis.  The SLC22A17/lipocalin-2 receptor plays a role in renal endocytosis of proteins involved in metalloproteins, particularly on iron- and cadmium-binding proteins (Thévenod et al. 2023).  Other renal functions of SLC22A17 include its contribution to osmotic stress adaptation, protection against urinary tract infection, and renal carcinogenesis.

The apical proximal tubular kidney/placenta organic anion transporter 4, Oat4 (Slc22a11) (transports estrone sulfate (Km = 1 µM), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (Km = 60µM), many anionic drugs, diuretics, bile salts, urate and ochratoxin A). Catalyzes Na+-independent efflux, possibly using glutamate as a counter anion in an exchange reaction, especially in the placenta (Lofthouse et al. 2015).  Functions in renal urate reabsorption (Prestin et al. 2014). Chlorine decreases the expression of the gene encoding this transporter (Suman et al. 2023). hOAT4 is mainly expressed in the kidney and placenta, and is essential for the disposition of numerous drugs, toxins, and endogenous substances. It is regulated by insulin-like growth factor and portein kinase B (Yu et al. 2023).  FRα and multiple transporters such as PCFT, RFC, OAT4, and OATPs are likely involved in the uptake of methotraxate (MTX), whereas MDR1 and BCRP are implicated in the efflux of MTX from choriocarcinoma cells (Bai et al. 2024).

The apical proximal tubular renal urate:anion exchanger, URAT1 (Slc22a12).  Catalyzes Na+-independent anion efflux (secretion) and reabsorption (Eraly et al., 2003a,b; Anzai and Endou, 2011; Prestin et al. 2014)  Regulated by the PDZK1 protein; Anzai et al., 2004). Also transports orotate, a precursor of pyrimidine biosynthesis (Miura et al., 2011). Mutations in URAT1 cause hereditary renal hypouricemia/gaut.  Residues involved in urea and inhibitor binding have been identified (Tan et al. 2016). Mutations can cause renal hypouricemia (RHUC), a heterogeneous genetic disorder that is characterized by decreased serum uric acid concentrations and increased fractional excretion of uric acid (Zhou et al. 2018; Kaynar et al. 2022). Mutation in transmembrane domain 8 of the human urate transporter 1 (residue K393) disrupts uric acid recognition and transport (Lan et al. 2022). Pathogenic variants of SLC22A12 (URAT1) and SLC2A9 (GLUT9) can give rise to renal hypouricemia (Perdomo-Ramirez et al. 2023). Biphenyl carboxylic acid derivatives are potent URAT1 inhibitors (Hou et al. 2023).

Oat6 transports many antiviral agents (Truong et al., 2008). It can bind odorants and is present in the mouse olfactory mucosa; it has been proposed to be an odorant receptor and/or odorant transporter (Wu et al. 2015).

Oranic anion transporter, Oat7 (exchanges sulfate conjugates (steroids) and other anions for butyrate) (Shin et al., 2007).  SLC22A9 and SLC29A2 are transporters mediating cellular uptake of 3,5,3'-Triiodothyroacetic acid (TRIAC), a T3-receptor agonist pharmacologically used in patients to mitigate T3 resistance. SLC22A9 encodes the organic anion transporter 7 (OAT7), a sodium-independent organic anion transporter expressed in the plasma membrane in brain, pituitary, liver, and other organs. Competition with the SLC22A9/OAT7 substrate estrone-3-sulfate reduced 125I-TRIAC uptake. SLC29A2 encodes the equilibrative nucleoside transporter 2 (ENT2), which is ubiquitously expressed, including the pituitary and brain. Coincubation with the SLC29A2/ENT2 inhibitor nitrobenzyl-6-thioinosine reduced 125I-TRIAC uptake. Moreover, ABCD1, an ATP-dependent peroxisomal pump, was identified as a 125I-TRIAC exporter in transfected MDCK1 cells (Becker et al. 2024).

Solute carrier family 22 member 15 (Fly-like putative transporter 1) (Flipt 1). This system is required for hepatocellular carcinoma proliferation and metastasis (Fang et al. 2021). SLC22A15 (FLIPT1) prefers zwitterionic compounds over cations and anions. Eight zwitterions transported include ergothioneine, carnitine, carnosine, gabapentin, as well as four cations including MPP+ , thiamine and cimetidine. Carnosine was a specific substrate of SLC22A15 among the transporters in the SLC22A family. SLC22A15 transport was sodium-dependent and exhibited higher Km values for ergothioneine, carnitine, and carnosine compared to previously identified transporters for these ligands (Yee et al. 2020). Many carnitine derivatives (i.e., (R)-3-hydrixybutryl carnitine, hexanoyl carnitine and glutaryl carnitine amoung others) are also transported.  In mice, SLC22a15 transports carnitine derivatives, a range of anti-oxidants, signalling molecules, hormones, neurotransmitters, nutrientYee et al. 2020). Many carnitine derivatives (i.e., (R)-3-hydrixybutryl carnitine, hexanoyl carnitine and glutaryl carnitine amoung others) are also transported.  In mice, SLC22a15 transports carnitine derivatives, a range of anti-oxidants, signalling molecules, hormones, neurotransmitters, nutrients and lipid metabolites (P Zhang & S Nigam, personal communication).

2.A.1.20:  The Sugar Efflux Transporter (SET) Family
2.A.1.20.1









Sugar efflux transporter A, SetA.  Exports lactose, glucose, aromatic glucosides and galactosides, cellobiose, maltose, α-methylglucoside and isopropyl β-thiogalactosides (IPTG); amino-glycosides, streptomycin and kanamycin are weakly expelled (Liu et al. 1999).  Regulated by SgrR (a transcriptional regulator of sgrS) and SgrS (a small RNA that represses trascription of setA).  These two regulatory genes are upstream of the setA gene.  Uses a pmf-dependent mechanism of energization.  Induced in response to glucose-phosphate stress which occurs when a sugar phosphates accumulate in the cytoplam (Sun and Vanderpool 2011). Overexpression of the gene for SetA allows export of Lacto-N-triose (LNT II) and lacto-N-tetraose (LNT), human milk oligosaccharides (Sugita and Koketsu 2022).

The macrolide (erythromycin; oleandomycin; azithromycin; telithromycin) efflux pump, MefA, of 405 aas and 12 TMSs (Cantón et al. 2005; Bley et al. 2011). Iannelli et al. 2018 suggested that MefA can function with an ATPase, MsrD (TC# 3.A.1.121.6), and therefore function as an ABC drug exporter.  However, the data presented seem inconsistent with this suggestion. The two genes encoding these two proteins are adjacent to each other, suggesting that they may function together (Iannelli et al. 2018). Predicted transmembrane proteins with homology to MefA do not complement a mefA deletion in the MefA-MsrD macrolide efflux system in Streptococcus pneumoniae (Fox et al. 2021). Note: MsrD is an ATPase of the ABC superfamily, so it can not be certain that MefA and MsrD function together. Coupling of an MFS carrier with an ABC-type energizer is very rare, maybe non-existent.

2.A.1.22:  The Vesicular Neurotransmitter Transporter (VNT) Family (Related to the SP Family (TC #2.1.1))
2.A.1.22.1









Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein neurotransmitter (e.g., dopamine) transporter, SV2A or SLC22B1.  This protein localizes to neurotransmitter-containing vesicles and has a nucleotide binding site (Yao and Bajjalieh 2009). The SV2 family is comprised of three paralogues: SV2A, SV2B, and SV2C. They are present in secretory vesicles, including synaptic vesicles, and are critical to neurotransmission. Structural and functional studies suggest that SV2 proteins may play several roles to promote proper vesicular function. Among these roles are their potential to stabilize the transmitter content of vesicles, to maintain and orient the releasable pool of vesicles, and to regulate vesicular calcium sensitivity to ensure efficient, coordinated release of the transmitter (Stout et al. 2019). SV2A plays a role in neuronal excitability and as such is the specific target for the antiepileptic drug levetiracetam as well as seletracetam and brivaracetam. SV2 proteins also act as the target by which potent neurotoxins, particularly botulinum, gain access to neurons and exert their toxicity. Both SV2B and SV2C are increasingly implicated in diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Despite decades of intensive research, their exact functions were elusive in 2019 (Stout et al. 2019), but the systems may transport galactose.The human (Q70J3) and rat orthologs are 99% identical. The structure, function, and disease relevance of GP2 (SV2) transporters have been reviewed (Stout et al. 2019).  More than one percent of people have epilepsy worldwide. Levetiracetam (LEV) is a successful new-generation antiepileptic drug (AED), and its derivative, brivaracetam (BRV), shows improved efficacy. Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2a (SV2A), a membrane transporter in the synaptic vesicles (SVs), has been identified as a target of LEV and BRV. SV2A also serves as a receptor for botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) (Yamagata et al. 2024).  The structural basis for antiepileptic drugs and botulinum neurotoxin recognition of SV2A have been ellucidated (Yamagata et al. 2024).

Synaptic vesicle 2C, SV2C or SLC22B3, of 727 aas and 11 TMSs. Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) inhibit neurotransmitter release by selectively cleaving core components of the vesicular fusion machinery. The synaptic vesicle proteins Synaptotagmin-I and -II act as receptors for BoNT/B and BoNT/G. Mahrhold et al. 2006 showed that BoNT/A also interacts with a synaptic vesicle protein, the synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2C (SV2C), but not with the homologous proteins SV2A and SV2B. Binding of BoNT/A occurs at the membrane juxtaposed region preceding transmembrane domain 8. A peptide comprising the intravesicular domain between transmembrane domains 7 and 8 specifically reduces the neurotoxicity of BoNT/A at phrenic nerve preparations, demonstrating the physiological relevance of this interaction (Mahrhold et al. 2006). The interactions of SV2C with BoNT have been reviewed (Li et al. 2020). SV2C is implicated in diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease (Stout et al. 2019). It seems to play roles in vesicle trafficking, exocytosis and neurotransmission (Hu et al. 2017).

These proteins may be involved in the development of proteinuria (Kawachi et al. 2009). SV2B and SV2C may be involved in the pathogenesis of epilepsy as well as other neurodegenerative diseases (Löscher et al. 2016) such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease (Stout et al. 2019). Defective lysosomal acidification may provide a prognostic marker and therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases (Lo and Zeng 2023).

2.A.1.28.1









Cell surface receptor (C-receptor) for anemia-inducing feline leukemia virus subgroup C (FLCVR, Slc49A1 or Mfsd7d) of 555 aas and 12 TMSs. It may function in choline transport (Kenny et al. 2023) or haem export in haemopoietic cells (Latunde-Dada et al., 2006Khan and Quigley, 2011) and may cause Diamond-Blackfan anemia when defective (Keel et al., 2008). Mutations of FLVCR1 in posterior column ataxia and retinitis pigmentosa result in the loss of heme export activity (Yanatori et al., 2012). Heme accumulation causes toxicity (Khan and Quigley 2018).  FLVCR1 is co-induced upon iron insufficiency in the placenta with the LDL receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) heme receptor, and these two proteins may be important for neonatal iron status (Cao et al. 2014).  FLVCR1 is required for erythroid and αβ-, CD4 and CD8 T- cell development (Philip et al. 2015). A splice-site variant of FLVCR1 produces retinitis pigmentosa without posterior column ataxia (Yusuf et al. 2018). Protocols suitable for purification of FLVCR1a, antibody generation and structural characterization of the transporter have been reported (Chiabrando et al. 2020). FLVCR1-related disease is a rare cause of retinitis pigmentosa and hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy (Grudzinska Pechhacker et al. 2020). More recently, integrative genetic analyses identified FLVCR1 as a plasma-membrane choline transporter in mammals (Kenny et al. 2023). Heme allocation in eukaryotic cells relies on mitochondrial heme export through FLVCR1b to cytosolic GAPDH (Jayaram et al. 2024).

Putative copper/multidrug efflux protein, YfmO.  The yfmPO operon is autoregulated by the MerR homologue, YfmP (a repressor). The copZA operon encodes CopA, a copper ATPase (TC# 3.A.3.5.18) which is induced by a copper dependent mechanism. Since a yfmP null mutant had poor copZA induction but elevated levels of the YfmO efflux pump, YfmO could catalyze copper efflux and be responsible for reduced copZA induction. Consistent with this model, a yfmP yfmO double mutant showed normal induction by copper (Gaballa et al. 2003).

2.A.1.42:  The Lysophospholipid Transporter (LplT) Family
2.A.1.42.1









The lysophospholipid (LPL) transporter, LplT (Harvat et al., 2005).  Substrates include lyso-PE, lyso-cardiolipin, diacylcardiolipin, fully-deacylated cardiolipin and lyso-phosphatidylglycerol, but not lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidic acid or phosphatidic acid (Lin et al. 2016). Reacylation by acyltransferase/acyl-acyl carrier protein synthetase then occurs on the inner leaflet of the membrane.Thus, a fatty acid chain is not required for LplT transport. A "sideways sliding" mechanism was proposed to explain how a conserved membrane-embedded α-helical interface excludes diacylphospholipids from the LplT binding site to facilitate efficient flipping of lysophospho-lipids across the cell membrane (Lin et al. 2016). Thus, a fatty acid chain is not required for LplT transport. Fruther, LplT cannot transport lysophosphatidic acid, and its substrate binding was not inhibited by either orthophosphate or glycerol 3-phosphate, indicating that either a glycerol or ethanolamine headgroup is the chemical determinant for substrate recognition. Diacyl forms of PE, phosphatidylglycerol, or the tetra-acylated form of cardiolipin could not serve as competitive inhibitors .A "sideways sliding" mechanism was proposed to explain how a conserved membrane-embedded α-helical interface can exclude diacylphospholipids from the LplT binding site. A dual substrate-accessing mechanism, in which LplT recruits LPLs to its substrate-binding site via two routes, either from its extracellular entry site, or through a membrane-embedded groove between transmembrane helices, and it then moves them towards the inner membrane leaflet (Lin et al. 2018).

Eukaryota

Spinster of Drosophila melanogaster (AAG43825)
2.A.1.49.2









The spinster homologue, Spin1 or Spns1 (SLC63A1) of 528 aas and 12 TMSs. It interacts with Bc1-2/Bc1-XL to induce a caspase-independent autophagic cell death (Yanagisawa et al., 2003). It is a spingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) (or sphingolipid) exporter (Nijnik et al. 2012). S1P is important for lymphocyte trafficking, immune responses, vascular and embryonic development, cancer, and bone homeostasis (Zhu et al. 2018). S1P is produced intracellularly and then secreted into the circulation to engage in the above physiological or pathological processes by regulating the proliferation, differentiation and survival of target cells. SPNS2 acts as a mediator of intracellular S1P release. The SPNS1-dependent lysosomal lipid transport pathway enables cell survival under choline limitation (Scharenberg et al. 2023). The orphan lysosomal transmembrane protein SPNS1 is critical for cell survival under choline limitation. SPNS1 loss leads to intralysosomal accumulation of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) and lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE). SPNS1 is a proton gradient-dependent transporter of LPC species from the lysosome for their re-esterification into phosphatidylcholine in the cytosol (Scharenberg et al. 2023). Beenken et al. 2024 have reported that Spns1 is an iron transporter essential for megalin-dependent endocytosis. Proximal tubule endocytosis is essential to produce protein free urine as well as to regulate system-wide metabolic pathways, such as the activation of Vitamin D. Beenken et al. 2024 have shown that the proximal tubule expresses an endolysosomal membrane protein, protein spinster homolog1 (Spns1), which engenders a novel iron conductance that is indispensable during embryonic development. Conditional knockout of Spns1 with a novel Cre-LoxP construct specific to megalin-expressing cells led to the arrest of megalin receptor-mediated endocytosis as well as dextran pinocytosis in proximal tubules. The endocytic defect was accompanied by changes in megalin phosphorylation as well as enlargement of lysosomes confirming previous findings in Drosophila and Zebrafish. The endocytic defect was also accompanied by iron overload in proximal tubules. Iron levels regulated the Spns1 phenotypes, because feeding an iron deficient diet or mating Spns1 knockout with divalent metal transporter1 (DMT1) knockout rescued the phenotypes. Conversely, iron loading wild type mice reproduced the endocytic defect, These data demonstrate a reversible, negative feedback for apical endocytosis, and raise the possibility that regulation of endocytosis, pinocytosis, megalin activation, and organellar size and function is nutrient-responsive (Beenken et al. 2024).

The rat orthologue (Q5EBA8) catalyzes H+-dependent folate uptake in the intestine (Inoue et al., 2008; Zhao and Goldman, 2007; Qiu et al., 2006; Shin et al., 2012). Evidence for a 12 TMS topology with a renetrant loop between TMSs 2 and 3 has been presented (Zhao et al., 2010; Qiu et al., 2006; Zhao et al., 2011; Wilson et al. 2014).  Downregulated in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in heart, liver, and brain, causing malabsorption (Bukhari et al., 2011). An IGXXG motif in TMS5 is important for folate binding and a GXXXG motif is involved in dimerization (Zhao et al., 2012). It is inhibited by bicarbonate, bisulfite, nitrite and other anions (Zhao et al. 2013).  Its role in antifolate cancer chemotherapy has been reviewed (Matherly et al. 2014). TMSs 3 and 6 may provide critical interfaces for formation of hPCFT oligomers, facilitated by the GXXXG motifs in TMS2 and TMS4 (Wilson et al. 2015).  The extracellular gate has been identified (Zhao et al. 2016), and mechanistic aspects have been considered (Date et al. 2016). Residues in the seventh and eighth TMSs play roles in the translocation pathway and folate binding (Aluri et al. 2017). The mutation, N411K-PCFT, is responsible for HFM (Aluri et al. 2018). PCFT is ubiquitously expressed in solid tumors to which it delivers antifolates, particularly pemetrexed, into cancer cells in a concentrative fashion (Zhao et al. 2018). Substitutions have been identified that lock and unlock PCFT into an inward-open conformation (Aluri et al. 2019). The nanodisc lipid composition influences the cell-free expression of PCFT (Do et al. 2021). Iron deficiency promotes hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis, and the loss of SLC46A1 expression leads to iron deficiency in liver tumor tissues (Wang et al. 2022). Cell-free expression of PCFT in the presence of nanodiscs has been reported (Do and Jansen 2022). Biological and therapeutic applications of the proton-coupled folate transporter have been reviewed (Matherly et al. 2022).  FRα and multiple transporters such as PCFT, RFC, OAT4, and OATPs are likely involved in the uptake of methotraxate (MTX), whereas MDR1 and BCRP are implicated in the efflux of MTX from choriocarcinoma cells (Bai et al. 2024).

Multidrug efflux transporter, MET, of 507 aas and 12 TMSs (Chahine et al. 2012).  Exposure to dietary methotrexate was associated with increased fluid secretion rate and increased flux of methotrexate, but not salicylate. Exposure to methotrexate in the diet resulted in increases in the expression of a multidrug efflux transporter gene (MET; CG30344) in the Malpighian tubules. There were also increases in expression of genes for either a Drosophila multidrug resistance-associated protein (dMRP; CG6214; TC# 3.A.1.208.39) or an organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP; CG3380; TC# 2.A.60.1.27), depending on the concentration of methotrexate in the diet.  MET probably does not export methotrexate (Chahine et al. 2012).

The MFSD1 (SMAP4) transporter (465 aas; 12 TMSs).  Expression is increased in mice by amino acid starvation and decreased by a high fat diet (Perland et al. 2016). This lysosomal transporter is essential for liver homeostasis and critically depends on its accessory subunit GLMP (Massa López et al. 2019). MFSD1 is not N-glycosylated but contains a dileucine-based sorting motif needed for its transport to lysosomes. Mfsd1 knockout mice develop splenomegaly and severe liver disease. GLMP (406 aas and at least 2 TMSs, N- and C-terminal) physically interacts with MFSD1 and is a critical accessory subunit. GLMP is essential for the maintenance of normal levels of MFSD1 in lysosomes and vice versa. Glmp knockout mice mimic the phenotype of Mfsd1 knockout mice (Massa López et al. 2019).  The two lysosomal integral membrane proteins MFSD1 and GLMP form a tight complex that confers protection of both interaction partners against lysosomal proteolysis. López et al. 2020 refined the molecular interaction of the two proteins and found that the luminal domain of GLMP alone, but not its transmembrane domain or its short cytosolic tail, conveys protection and mediates the interaction with MFSD1. The interaction is essential for the stabilization of the complex. N-glycosylation of GLMP is essential for protection. The interaction of both proteins   starts in the endoplasmic reticulum, and quantitatively depends on each other. Both proteins can affect their intracellular trafficking to lysosomes. MFSD1 can form homodimers both in vitro and in vivo (López et al. 2020).

UNC93-like protein MFSD11 (Major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 11; Protein ET) of 449 aas and 12 TMSs It seems to be involved in intracellular transport in mammals and has been suggested to be a sugar:H+ symporter (Zhang et al. 2018). It is expressed in testis, small intestine, spleen, prostate, and ovary, and mutations can give rise to ovarian cancer (Liu et al. 2002). Mfsd11 is abundantly expressed in the mouse brain and plays a potential role in energy homeostasis (Perland et al. 2016). Its transcript is highly enriched in Aedes aegypti during arbovirus infection (Campbell et al. 2011). UNC93A and SV2 (TC# 2.A.1.22.1) may play a role in virus assembly or budding (Campbell et al. 2011).

Unc-93 family homologue B1, Unc-93b1 or Unc93b1, of 597 aas and 12 TMSs, plays a role in innate and adaptive immunity by regulating nucleotide-sensing Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling (Pelka et al. 2014). It is required for the transport of a subset of TLRs (including TLR3, TLR7 and TLR9) from the endoplasmic reticulum to endolysosomes where they can engage pathogen nucleotides (e.g., of viral nucleic acids) and activate signaling cascades. Unc93B1 may play a role in autoreactive B-cells removal (Isnardi et al. 2008).  It induces apoptotic cell death and is cleaved by host and viral proteases (Harris and Coyne 2015). UNC93B1 may play a role in human oral squamous cell carcinomas growth by controlling the secretion of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) (Wagai et al. 2019). UNC93B1 regulates Toll-like receptor stability independently of endosomal TLR transport (Pelka et al. 2018). A missense variant affecting the C-terminal tail of UNC93B1 in dogs is responsible for a Exfoliative Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (ECLE) condition (Leeb et al. 2020). Compartmentalization of TLRs in the endosome limits their activation by self-derived nucleic acids and reduces the possibility of autoimmune reactions. UNC93B1 is indispensable for the trafficking of TLRs from the endoplasmic reticulum to the endosome. Ishida et al. 2021 reported two cryo-EM structures of human and mouse TLR3-UNC93B1 complexes and a human TLR7-UNC93B1 complex. UNC93B1 exhibits structural similarity to other MFS porters. Both TLRs interact with the UNC93B1 amino-terminal six-helix bundle through their transmembrane and luminal juxtamembrane regions, but the complexes of TLR3 and TLR7 with UNC93B1 differ in their oligomerization state (Ishida et al. 2021). The mammalian trafficking chaperone protein UNC93B1 maintains the ER calcium sensor STIM1 in a dimeric state primed for translocation to the ER cortex (Wang and Demaurex 2022). Gain-of-function human UNC93B1 variants cause systemic lupus erythematosus and chilblain lupus (David et al. 2024; Al-Azab et al. 2024).

2.A.1.70.9









ArsK, exporter of arsenite, antimonite, trivalent roxarsone and methylarsenite (Shi et al. 2018). Expression of arsK is induced by arsenite [As(III)], antimonite [Sb(III)], trivalent roxarsone [Rox(III)], methylarsenite [MAs(III)] and arsenate [As(V)], and heterologous expression of ArsK in an arsenic-hypersensitive E. coli strain showed that ArsK is essential for resistance to As(III), Sb(III), Rox(III) and MAs(III) but not to As(V), dimethylarsenite [Dimethyl-As(III)] or Cd(II). ArsK reduces the cellular accumulation of As(III), Sb(III), Rox(III) and MAs(III) but not to As(V) or Dimethyl-As(III). An arsenic regulator gene arsR2 is cotranscribed with arsK, and ArsR2 interacts with the arsR2-arsK promoter region without metalloids but is derepressed by As(III), Sb(III), Rox(III) and MAs(III). Thus, ArsK is an arsenic efflux protein  and is regulated by ArsR2 (Shi et al. 2018).

2.A.1.75.1









Probable transporter MCH1.  Although the name, "monocarboxylate transporter homologue 1" implies that this system transports monocarboxylates such as lactate, pyruvate and acetate, no evidence for this possibility was obtained (Makuc et al. 2001). Instead, the mch1-5 mutant strain, lacking all 5 such paralogues in yeast showed strongly reduced biomass yields in aerobic glucose-limited chemostat cultures, pointing to the involvement of Mch transporters in mitochondrial metabolism. Indeed, intracellular localization studies indicated that at least some of the Mch proteins reside in intracellular membranes.Thus, the yeast monocarboxylate transporter-homologs perform other functions other than do their mammalian counterparts (Makuc et al. 2001). Possibly they function in intracellular, organellar transport of these acids.
