2.A.104.1.1









The L-alanine exporter, AlaE (YgaW) of 149 aas and 4 TMSs. (In the DUF1144 or PF06610 superfamily) (Hori et al., 2011).  Two charged residues are essential for it's efflux activity (Kim et al. 2016). AlaE is the physiologically most relevant exporter for L-alanine in E. coli. AlaE forms homo-oligomers, and the GxxxG motif in the TMS4 region plays an essential role in AlaE activity but not in AlaE oligomer formation (Ihara et al. 2022).

Bacteria
Pseudomonadota
AlaE of E. coli (A8ANM6)
2.A.104.1.2









AlaE homologue of 149aas and 4 TMSs.  There is a duplicated 2 TMS repeat unit, and immediately following both TMSs 2 and 4, there is a conserved motif, RPYG-W found in both halves of the protein at residue numbers 55 and 122 respectively.  Thus, AlaE homologues arose by an intergenic duplication event.

Bacteria
Pseudomonadota
AlaE homologue of Pelagibacterium halotolerans (G4R961)
2.A.104.2.1









Hypothetical protein (77aas; 2 TMSs). Resembles residues 72-149 (second half) of AlaE.  Could be a fragment of the full length protein.

Archaea
Thermoproteota
HP of an uncultured crenarchaeote (H5SVY7)
2.A.104.3.1









AlaE homologue of 159 aas and 3 or 4 TMSs (KKS95321.1)

Bacteria
Candidatus Giovannonibacteria
AlaE of Parcubacteria (Giovannonibacteria) bacterium (KKS95321.1)
2.A.104.3.2









AlaE homologue of 150 aas and 4 TMSs (KKP64473.1).
