K+ efflux - K+:H+ antiporter 3 (AtKEA3) of 776 aas and 13 TMSs.  Localizes to the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast.  It modulates pmf partitioning through H+ efflux from the lumen, which is critical for photosynthetic acclimation after transitions from high to low light intensity (Armbruster et al. 2014; Kunz et al. 2014). It has an even number of TMSs, probably 14 (Bölter et al. 2019), with hydrophilic N- and C-terminal regulatory domains.

Transmembrane and coiled-coil domain 3, TMCO3, of 677 aas and 13 TMSs in a 1 (N-terminus) + 4 + 2 + 2 + 4 TMS (residues 255 - 670) arrangement.  When mutated, it causes cornea guttata and anterior polar cataracts (Chen et al. 2016).  The encoding gene is expressed in the human cornea, lens capsule, and choroid-retinal pigment epithelium (Chen et al. 2016). It is a prognostic biomarker that correlates with immune infiltration in hepatocellular carcinoma (Deng et al. 2021). TMCO3 may be a biomarker for liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) prognosis and immunotherapy (Hu et al. 2022).

Na+/H+ exchanger of 732 aas.  The exchanger is the N-terminal domain, and the C-terminal domain is in the cl00292 superfamily of adenine nucleotide alpha hydrolases.  This superfamily includes N-type ATP PPases, ATP sulphurylases, Universal Stress Response proteins and electron transfer flavoproteins (ETF). The domain forms a apha/beta/apha fold which binds to adenosine nucleotides.

2.A.37.2.7









Na+/H+ antiporter of 386 aas and 13 predicted TMSs, NapA. The 3-d structure is known (PDB# 4BWZ; 4BZ2; 4BZ3).  In the NapA structure, the core and dimerization domains are in different positions to those seen in the E. coli NhaA, and a negatively charged cavity is open to the outside. The extracellular cavity allows access to a strictly conserved aspartate residue thought to coordinate ion binding directly. To alternate access to this ion-binding site, however, requires a surprisingly large rotation of the core domain, some 20° against the dimerization interface (Lee et al. 2013). A  transmembrane lysine residue is essential for electrogenic transport in this and related Na+/H+ antiporters(Uzdavinys et al. 2017).

Endosome and prevacuole K+:H+ antiporter, CHX17 of 820 aas and 13 putative TMSs.  Mediates potassium ion and pH homeomeostasis, thereby influencing membrane trafficking (Chanroj et al. 2011).  May also catalyze Na+/H+ antiport (Sze and Chanroj 2018).  CHX can promote the uptake of K+, increase the ratio of K+/Na+, and promote the growth of plants under K+ deficiency and treatment with NaCl solution (Guo et al. 2023).

Cation C+/H+ antiporter 1 (Protein CATION/H+ EXCHANGER 1) (AtCHX1).  CHX transporters play roles in salt tolerance in A thaliana seedlings (Guo et al. 2023). They promote the uptake of K+, increase the ratio of K+/Na+, and promote the growth of plants under K+ deficiency and treatment with NaCl solutions. Thus, CHXs are involved in K+ transport and improve plant salt tolerance by coordinating K+ acquisition and homeostasis. (Guo et al. 2023).
