2.A.23.1.3
C4-dicarboxylate transporter (substrates: fumarate, D- and L-malate, succinate, succinamide, orotate, iticonate, mesaconate).  This protein is 85% identical to the Sinorhizobium melitoti ortholog, mutants of which have an alterred substrate specificity and inability to support N2 fixing symbiosis (Yurgel and Kahn 2005).
