2.A.4.3.13 Zn2+, Fe2+ and Co2+ exporter, AitP, of 321 aas and 6 TMSs. The N2-fixing bacteria, Sinorhizobium meliloti, is a suitable model to determine the roles of Co2+-transporting Co-eCDF in Fe2+ homeostasis because it has a putative member of this subfamily, AitP, and two specific Fe2+-export systems. An insertional mutant of AitP showed Co2+ sensitivity and accumulation, Fe accumulation and hydrogen peroxide sensitivity, but not Fe2+ sensitivity, despite AitP being a bona fide low affinity Fe2+ exporter as demonstrated by the kinetic analyses of Fe2+ uptake into everted membrane vesicles (Mihelj et al. 2023).
