Solute carrier family 30, member 10, ZnT10.  Manganese efflux transporteer of 485 aas and 6 TMSs in a 4 + 2 TMS arrangement with two long hydrophilic regions between residues 135 and 240, and residues 300 and 485 (Nishito et al. 2016).  Homozygous mutations lead to the development of familial manganese Mn2+-induced parkinsonism; it is a cell surface-localized Mn2+ efflux transporter, and parkinsonism-causing mutations block its trafficking and efflux activity. Residues in the transmembrane and C-terminal domains together confer optimal Mn2+ transport capability (Zogzas et al. 2016). Residues involved in Mn2+ binding in the transmembrane domain have been identified, and they differ in position and nature from the Zn2+ binding site in Zn2+ transporting members of the CDF family (Zogzas and Mukhopadhyay 2018). Loss of ZnT10 expression caused by autosomal mutations in the ZnT10 gene leads to hypermanganesemia in multiple organs (Levy et al. 2019). The cellular transport of Mn2+ is coupled to a reciprocal movement of Ca2+. Replacing a single asparagine residue in ZnT10 (Asn-43) with threonine (ZnT10 N43T) converted the Mn2+/Ca2+ exchanger into an uncoupled channel permeable to both Ca2+ and Mn2+ (Levy et al. 2019). It is expressed in the CNS (Sreedharan et al. 2011).

Zinc transporter 1 (ZnT-1 or ZnT1) (Solute carrier family 30 member 1). The loss of the sialic acid transporter SLC35A1/CST (TC# 2.A.7.12.11) and the zinc transporter, ZnT1, affected cell survival upon infection with cytolytic vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Both of these transporters seem to play a role in the apoptotic response induced by VSV (Moskovskich et al. 2019). ZnT1 functions by Zn2+:H+ antiport and has a C-terminal hydrophilic domain that is a dimer in solution with a V-shaped core (Cotrim et al. 2021). There are 10 ZnT proteins in humans, but only ZnT1 is a zinc exporter in the plasma membrane, and only ZnT10 is a Mn2+ exporter; a reliable in vitro assay has been developed for measuring Zn2+ uptake (Ben Yosef et al. 2023).  Somatic SLC30A1 mutations altering zinc transporter ZnT1 cause aldosterone-producing adenomas and primary aldosteronism (Rege et al. 2023).

Loss of the cytoplasmic histidine-rich loop, where 4 Zn2+ (or Ni2+ or Co2+) bind, stimulates transport activity (Kawachi et al., 2008), presumably providing a feedback sensor of cytoplasmic Zn2+ (Tanaka et al. 2013). The barley orthologue has broader metal specificity (Podar et al., 2012). Critical residues for function, ion selectivity and structure have been identified (Kawachi et al., 2012).

Homodimeric solute carrier family 30 (zinc transporter), member 8, ZnT8 or ZnT-8.  An inherited R325W mutant gives aberant zinc transport in pancreatic beta cells (Weijers 2010). It is chiefly expressed in pancreatic islet cells, where it mediates zinc (Zn2+) uptake into secretory granules. It plays a role in glucose tolerance (Mitchell et al. 2016). ZnT8 is one of four human vesicular zinc transporters. It supplies millimolar zinc concentrations to insulin granules in pancreatic beta-cells, affecting insulin processing, crystallisation, and secretion. ZnT8 has a transmembrane and a C-terminal cytosolic domain; the latter has important functions and purportedly mediates protein-protein interactions, senses cytosolic zinc, and channels zinc to the transport site in the transmembrane domain (Parsons et al. 2018). The variant, W325R, in the C-terminal domain (CTD) increases the risk to develop type 2 diabetes and affects autoantibody specificity in type 1 diabetes. The CTDs of the WT and mutant proteins form tetramers which are stabilized by zinc binding and exhibit negligible differences in their secondary structural content and zinc-binding affinities in solution (Ullah et al. 2020). Xue et al. 2020 described cryo-EM structures in both outward- and inward-facing conformations. HsZnT8 forms a dimeric structure with four Zn2+ binding sites within each subunit with a highly conserved primary site in the TMD housing the Zn2+ substrate. An interfacial site between the TMD and the CTD modulates the Zn2+ transport activity. Two adjacent sites buried in the cytosolic domain are chelated by conserved residues from CTD and the His-Cys-His (HCH) motif from the N-terminal segment of the neighboring subunit. A comparison of the outward- and inward-facing structures reveals that the TMD of each subunit undergoes a large structural rearrangement, allowing for alternating access to the primary Zn2+ site during the transport cycle (Xue et al. 2020). The C-terminal domain of the human zinc transporter hZnT8 Is structurally indistinguishable from its disease risk variant (R325W) (Ullah et al. 2020). The dynamics of ZnT8 have been studied (Sala et al. 2021), revealing that packing of the TMSs affects channel accessibility from the cytosol. The dimer interface that keeps the two TM channels in contact became looser in both variants upon zinc binding to the transport site, suggesting that this may be an important step toward the switch from the inward- to the outward-facing states of the protein (Sala et al. 2021). The C-terminal cysteines, which are part of the cytosolic domain, are involved in a metal chelation and/or acquisition mechanism, and provides the first example of metal-thiolate coordination chemistry in zinc transporters (Catapano et al. 2021). Human ZnT8 (SLC30A8) is a diabetes risk factor and a zinc transporter (Daniels et al. 2020). ZnT8 loss of function mutations increase resistance of human embryonic stem cell-derived beta cells to apoptosis unswe low zinc conditions (Sui et al. 2023).  Protons may disrupt Zn2+ coordination at the transmembrane Zn2+-binding site in the lumen-facing state, thus facilitating Zn2+ release from ZnT8 into the lumen (based on the cryoEM structure of the Xenopus tropecalis ZnT8 (Zhang et al. 2023).

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).

Golgi/secretory granule Zn2+ uptake (into Golgi or granules) permease, ZnT7 (Ishihara et al., 2006). Bui et al. 2023 presented the 2.2-3.1 Å-resolution cryo-EM structures of the human Zn2+/H+ antiporter ZnT7 in Zn2+-bound and unbound forms. Cryo-EM analyses show that hZnT7 exists as a dimer via tight interactions in both the cytosolic and transmembrane (TM) domains of two protomers, each of which contains a single Zn2+-binding site in its TM domain. hZnT7 undergoes a TM-helix rearrangement to create a negatively charged cytosolic cavity for Zn2+ entry in the inward-facing conformation and widens the luminal cavity for Zn2+ release in the outward-facing conformation. An exceptionally long cytosolic histidine-rich loop, characteristic of hZnT7, binds two Zn2+ ions, seemingly facilitating Zn2+ recruitment to the TM metal transport pathway. These structures allow mechanisms of hZnT7-mediated Zn2+ uptake into the Golgi to be proposed (Bui et al. 2023).

Zn2+/Cd2+/Hg2+/Fe2+:H+ antiporter, YiiP or FieF (Chao and Fu, 2004b; Grass et al., 2005; Wei et al., 2004; Wei and Fu, 2006). The structure (3.8 Å resolution) reveals a homodimer interconnected at the cytoplasmic domain through four Zn2+ ions. A 6 TMS bundle features of a tetrahedral Zn2+ binding site (Lu and Fu, 2007). The gated water access to the transport site enables a stationary proton gradient to facilitate the conversion of zinc-binding energy to the kinetic power stroke of a vectorial zinc transport (Gupta et al. 2014). Of the two cavities of the dimer, only one was accessible from the cytosol during transport. Zinc(II) binding to D49 of the transport site triggered a rearrangement of the TMS that closed the accessible cavity. The free-energy profiles of metal transit in the channel suggested the existence of a high barrier preventing release from the transport site (Sala et al. 2019). The mechanism of zinc transport through YiiP has been proposed (Sharma and Merz 2022).

Magnetosome membrane iron transporter, MamB.  Forms a heterodimeric stable complex with MamM which stabilizes MamB.  MamB also interacts with other proteins including the PDZ1 domain of MamE (Q6NE61).  Both MamB and MamM are essential for magnetite biomineralization and are involved in several steps in magnetosome formation. MamM was used to probe the role of the hydrophilic C-terminal domain (CTD) in metal recognition and selectivity. Different metals bind to MamM CTD, suggesting a varying level of functional discrimination between CDF domains. Thus, CDF CTDs play a role in metal selectivity. MamM's CTD discriminates against Mn2+, supporting a role in preventing magnetite formation poisoning in magnetotactic bacteria via Mn2+ incorporation (Barber-Zucker et al. 2020).

Putative magnetosome membrane iron transporter, MamM.  Forms a heterodimeric stable complex with MamB which it stabilizes.  MamB (see TC# 2.A.4.7.3) also interacts with other proteins including the PDZ1 domain of MamE (Q6NE61).  Both MamB and MamM are essential for magnetite biomineralization and are involved in several steps in magnetosome formation, but only MamB is essential for formation of magnetosome membrane vesicles (Uebe et al. 2011). Most CDF proteins contain two domains, the cation transporting transmembrane domain and the regulatory cytoplasmic C-terminal domain (CTD). A MamM M250P mutation that is synonymous with the disease-related mutation L349P of the human CDF protein, ZnT-10 causes severe structural changes in its CTD, resulting in abnormally reduced function.Thus, the CTD fold is critical for the CDF proteins' proper function and suggest that the CDF cytoplasmic domain is a CDF regulatory element (Barber-Zucker et al. 2016). MamM's CTD can discriminate against Mn2+, supporting its postulated role in preventing magnetite formation poisoning in magnetotactic bacteria via Mn2+ incorporation (Barber-Zucker et al. 2020).

Cobalt/zinc resistance protein B, CzrB, of 291 aas and 6 TMSs.  It has a cytosolic extramembranal C-terminus. This 92-residue fragment may function independently of the full-length integral membrane protein. X-ray analyses of this fragment to 2.2 A resolution with and 1.7 A without zinc ions have been solved. The former has at least two zinc ions bound per monomer (Höfer et al. 2007).  Full-length variants of CzrB in the apo and zinc-loaded states were generated by homology modeling with the Zn2+/H+ antiporter YiiP. The model suggests a way in which zinc binding to the cytoplasmic fragment creates a docking site to which a metallochaperone can bind for delivery and transport of zinc. A proposal was advanced that it functions as a metallochaperone and regulates the zinc-transporting activity of the full-length protein. The latter requires that zinc binding becomes uncoupled from the creation of a metallochaperone-docking site on CzrB (Cherezov et al. 2008).

TMEM163 is found in synaptic vesicles where it is called SV31 (Burré et al. 2007). It plays a role in Zn2+ uptake into lysosomes (Cuajungco and Kiselyov 2017). TMEM163 proteins catalyze Zn2+ efflux from cells and are critical for the biogenesis of platelet dense granules in mice (Yuan et al. 2021). TMEM163's discovery, transport feature, protein interactome, and similarities, as well as differences, with known SLC30 (ZnT) protein family members have been reviewed (Styrpejko and Cuajungco 2021). These authors also examined recent reports that implicate TMEM163 directly or indirectly in various human diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Mucolipidosis type IV and diabetes. TMEM163 is a dimer that catalyzes Zn2+ efflux from cells, or uptake into intracellular vesicles including lysosomes. TMEM163 dimerizes with itself, but it also heterodimerizes with ZNT1, ZNT2, ZNT3, and ZNT4 proteins (Escobar et al. 2022).
