2.A.53.1.6 | The sulfate transporter, Sultr1.2 with C-terminal STAS domain that is required both for activity and biogenesis/stability (Shibagaki and Grossman, 2006). It physically interacts with 0-acetylserine (thiol)lyase (cysteine synthetase) via its STAS domain. This interaction stimulates the activity of 0-acetylserine (thiol)lyase while inhibiting the SULTR1;2 transport activity. SULTR1.1 (TC# 2.A.53.1.7) interacts with 0-acetylserine (thiol)lyase but this interaction does not stimulate its activity (Shibagaki and Grossman, 2010). | Eukaryota |

|
2.A.53.1.12 | Symbiotic sulfate transporter-1, SST1 of 645 aas. Expressed only in the symbiosome membrane of rhizobial nodules; transports sulfate from the plant cell cytoplasm to the intracellular rhizobia, where the nutrient is essential for protein and cofactor synthesis, including nitrogenase biosynthesis (Krusell et al. 2005). | Eukaryota |
Viridiplantae, Streptophyta | SST1 of Lotus japonicus (Lotus corniculatus var. japonicus) |
|
2.A.53.1.13 | High affinity sulfate transporter, SUL-2/SUL2/SEL2, of 893 aas and 10 - 12 TMSs. May be a "transceptor", combining transport and receptor functions (Diallinas 2017). | Eukaryota |
Fungi, Ascomycota | SUL-2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
|
2.A.53.1.14 | Sulfate transporter 4:1, chloroplastic, SULTR4;1, MSH12.1, of 685 aas and 13 - 15 TMSs. It is a H+/sulfate cotransporter that may play a role in the regulation of sulfate assimilation. The structure of AtSULTR4;1, in complex with SO42- at an overall resolution of 2.8 Å has been determined (Wang et al. 2021). AtSULTR4;1 forms a homodimer and has a structural fold typical of the SLC26 family of anion transporters. The bound SO42- is coordinated by side-chain hydroxyls and backbone amides, and further stabilized electrostatically by the conserved Arg393 and two helix dipoles. Proton and SO42- are co-transported, and a proton gradient significantly enhances SO42- transport. Glu347, which is ~7 Å from the bound SO42-, is required for H+-driven transport. The cytosolic STAS domain interacts with the transmembrane domains, and deletion of the STAS domain, or mutations at the interface, compromise dimer formation and reduces SO42- transport, suggesting a regulatory function of the STAS domain (Wang et al. 2021).

2.A.53.1.15 | Sulfate transporter 3.1 of 658 aas and 14 putative TMSs in a probable 6 + 2 + 6 TMS arrangement. High expression levels of GmSULTR3;1a (soy bean) in the roots, stems, and leaves was induced by a sulfur deficiency, and GmSULTR3;1a improved salt tolerance. GmSULTR3;1a-overexpressing soybean hairy roots had higher SO42-, GSH, and methionine (Met) contents compared with the wild-type (WT) plant (Zhou et al. 2024). | Eukaryota |
Viridiplantae, Streptophyta | Sultr3.1 of Oryza sativa, Japonica Group |
|
2.A.53.1.16 | Probabe phosphate transporter, SPDT, of 670 aas and 12 - 16 TMSs. The transporter gene (Os06g0143700) product probably transports phosphate, possibly instead of or in addition to sulfate (Yamaji et al. 2017). The expression of SPDT in the shoot basal region was highly upregulated by phosphate-deficiency, but not by sulfate-deficiency. Fulvic acid increase the expression of several phosphate transporter genes in rice (Lv et al. 2024). | Eukaryota |

2.A.53.2.1 | Sulfate/anion transporter (diastrophic dysplasia protein) (SLC26A2). It catalyzes electroneutral SO4-, OH- and Cl- exchange, regulated by extracellular Cl- (Ohana et al., 2011). Congenital chloride diarrhea and inherited skeletal dysplasias are observed in patients with SLC26A2 mutations (Sun et al. 2021). Biji et al. 2022 have expanded the spectrum of SLC26A2-related lethal chondrodysplasia and reported three novel variants correlating clinical severity and protein phenotype within the lethal spectrum of this rare dysplasia.

2.A.53.2.3 | Intestinal down-regulated in adenoma (DRA) protein; HCO3-/Cl- antiporter, SLC26a3 (responsible for congenital chloride-losing diarrhea in humans) (Schweinfest et al., 2006). DRA has 12 putative TMSs and a C-terminal STAS domain required for function and activation of CFTR by DRA (Dorwart et al., 2008). Catalyzes 2Cl-/1HCO3- antiport, Cl-/OH- exchange and sulfate transport (Shcheynikov et al., 2006; Moseley et al., 1999). Loss in mice impairs mucosal HCO3- secretion (Xiao et al., 2012). | Eukaryota |

2.A.53.2.4 | Pendrin (Pendred) syndrome (hereditary deafness) anion transporter (Na+-independent). Anions transported: iodide (thyroid gland; apical membrane of follicular epithelium); bicarbonate (kidney; apical membrane of intercalated cells of the cortical collecting duct), chloride, formate, etc. Pendrin probably catalyzes uniport and anion/anion antiport (SLC26A4). It also regulates Na+ absorption by the epithelial Na+ channel (Wall and Pech, 2008). CFTR controls the rate of liquid secretion while pendrin mediates transcellular HCO3- secretion in airway serous cells (Garnett et al., 2011). A structural model has been presented (Bassot et al. 2016). | Eukaryota |
Metazoa, Chordata | Pendrin of Mus musculus |
|
2.A.53.2.5 | Prestin, the outer hair cell voltage-sensitive motor protein (voltage sensitivity depends on intracellular Cl- and HCO3- which may bind to prestin). Prestin transports anions including formate and oxalate; transport and voltage-sensing capabilities are independent functions of the same protein (Bai et al., 2009). Prestin-mediated electromotility is a dual-step process: transport of anions by an alternate access cycle, followed by an anion-dependent transition generating electromotility (Schaechinger et al., 2011; McGuire et al., 2011). A three-dimensional molecular dynamics model of prestin predicted that it contains eight transmembrane spanning segments and two helical re-entry loops. Tyrosyl residues recognize anions, with residues Y367, Y486, Y501 and Y508 contributing to anion binding through anion-pi interactions. Such interactions, sensitive to voltage and mechanical stimulation, confer a capability to perform electromechanical and mechanoelectric conversions (Lovas et al. 2015). | Eukaryota |

May function as a channel (Ohana et al., 2008). | Eukaryota |
Metazoa, Chordata | SLC26A7 of Homo sapiens |
|
2.A.53.2.7 | The human Slc26a6 anion exchanger (transports sulfate, formate, oxalate, chloride and bicarbonate in antiport with any one of these anions) (Jiang et al., 2002). However, Cl- and HSO4- are transported slowly; Cl-/HCO3-, Cl-/OH- and Cl-:oxalate exchange reactions are electroneutral (Chernova et al., 2005). (The oxalate nephrolithiasis gene; Clark et al., 2008). Catalyzes 1Cl-/2HCO3- antiport (Shcheynikov et al., 2006; Walker et al., 2010). | Eukaryota |
Metazoa, Chordata | SLC26A6 of Homo sapiens |
|
2.A.53.2.8 | The mouse Slc26a6 anion exchanger (same substrate specificity as its human orthologue (2.A.53.2.7)), but Cl- and HSO4- are transported rapidly. Moreover, although Cl-/HCO3- and Cl-/OH- exchange reactions are electroneutral, Cl-:oxalate exchange is electrogenic (Chernova et al., 2005). Also catalyzes Cl-:formate exchange (Knauf et al., 2001). | Eukaryota |

|
2.A.53.2.10 | The anion exchanger, channel and Na+-transporter, SLC26a9 (Chang et al. 2009). Differential contributions and interactions of SLC26A9 with CFTR to Cl- conductance in polarized and non-polarized epithelial cells have been demonstrated (Ousingsawat et al., 2012). Slc26a9 (-/-) mice have reduced gastric acid secretion (Chen et al., 2012). Polymorphisms in the human orthologue lead to altered activity and levels (Chen et al., 2012). | Eukaryota |

2.A.53.2.14 | Solute exchange carrier family 26, member 8, SLC26A8 or Testis anion transporter 1 (Tat1), of 970 aas and possibly 17 TMSs in a 4 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 3 TMS arrangement. It acts as a DIDS-sensitive anion exchanger mediating chloride, sulfate and oxalate transport. May fulfill critical anion exchange functions in male germ line during meiosis and hence may play a role in spermatogenesis. It may be involved in a new regulatory pathway linking sulfate transport to RhoGTPase signaling in male germ cells. It is a critical component of the sperm annulus that is essential for correct sperm tail differentiation and motility and hence male fertility, and it may form a molecular complex involved in the regulation of chloride and bicarbonate ions fluxes during sperm capacitation (Toure et al. 2001). It is is a target for inhibition, for use in male contraception, causing inhibition of sperm motility (Mariani et al. 2023). | Eukaryota |

2.A.53.2.15 | Solute carrier family 26 member 9 (Anion transporter/exchanger protein 9). May play a role in chronic inflammatory airway diseases (Sala-Rabanal et al. 2015). The Cl--transporting proteins CFTR (TC# 3.A.1.202.1), SLC26A9, and anoctamin (ANO1; ANO6) (see TC family 1.A.17) all participate in the pathogenic process and clinical outcomes of airway and renal diseases (Kunzelmann et al. 2023). The molecular principles underlying diverse functions of the SLC26 family of proteins (Takahashi and Homma 2023). (i) The basic residue at the anion binding site is essential for both anion antiport of SLC26A4 and motor functions of SLC26A5, and its conversion to a nonpolar residue is crucial but not sufficient for the fast uncoupled anion transport in SLC26A9; (ii) the conserved polar residues in the N- and C-terminal cytosolic domains are likely involved in dynamic hydrogen-bonding networks and are essential for anion antiport of SLC26A4 but not for motor (SLC26A5) and uncoupled anion transport (SLC26A9) functions; (iii) the hydrophobic interaction between each protomer's last transmembrane helices, TM14, is not of functional significance in SLC26A9 but crucial for the functions of SLC26A4 and SLC26A5, likely contributing to optimally orient the axis of the relative movements of the core domain with respect to the gate domains within the cell membrane (Takahashi and Homma 2023). The anion exchanger solute carrier family 26 and its member, SLC26A9, consisting of the transmembrane (TM) domain and the cytoplasmic STAS domain, plays an essential role in regulating chloride transport (Omori et al. 2024). The removal of the C-terminus not only unblocks the access of ions to the permeation pathway but also triggers STAS domain motion, gating the TM domain to promote ions' entry into their binding site. The asymmetric motion of the STAS domain leads to the expansion of the ion permeation pathway within the TM domain, resulting in the stiffening of the flexible TM12 helix near the ion-binding site. This structural change in the TM12 helix stabilizes chloride ion binding, which is essential for SLC26A9's alternate-access mechanism Sala-Rabanal et al. 2015). The Cl--transporting proteins CFTR (TC# 3.A.1.202.1), SLC26A9, and anoctamin (ANO1; ANO6) (see TC family 1.A.17) all participate in the pathogenic process and clinical outcomes of airway and renal diseases (Kunzelmann et al. 2023).

2.A.53.2.16 | Sulfate anion transporter 1 (SAT-1 or SAT1) (Solute carrier family 26 member 1); anion exchanger. Transports chloride, sulfate, bicarbonate and oxalate (Regeer et al. 2003; Lee et al. 2003). The mouse and rat orthologues have the same specificities and functions. Loss in mice is associated with hyperoxalurea and calcium oxalate kidney stones, and specific mutations when heterozygous in humans cause urolithiasis (Dawson et al. 2013). When homozygous, they can cause severe nephrocalcinosis. SLC26A1 is a major determinant of sulfate homeostasis in humans (Pfau et al. 2023). | Eukaryota |
Metazoa, Chordata | SLC26A1 of Homo sapiens |
|
2.A.53.2.17 | Pendrin (Sodium-independent chloride/iodide/bicarbonate transporter) (Solute carrier family 26 member 4, Slc26a4; PDS). Involved in ion homeostasis of the endolymph of the inner ear. Missense mutations cause sensorineuronal hearing loss, but salicylate (aspirin) restored transport function by allowing transport from cytosolic sites to the plasma membrane (Ishihara et al. 2010). May also transport cyanate and thiocyanate (Pedemonte et al. 2007). May play a role in chronic inflammatory airway diseases (Sala-Rabanal et al. 2015). SLC26A4 functional expression may reduce or prevent fluctuation of hearing (Nishio et al. 2016). Iodide transport across thyrocytes constitutes a critical step for thyroid hormone biosynthesis, mediated mainly by the basolateral NIS (TC# 2.A.21.5.1) and the apical anion exchanger pendrin (PDS) (Eleftheriadou et al. 2020). Type II alveolar epithelial cell-specific loss of the small GTPase, RhoA, exacerbates allergic airway inflammation through pendrin (Do et al. 2021). Pendrin maintains ion concentrations in the endolymph of the inner ear, most likely by acting as a chloride/bicarbonate transporter. Variants in the SLC26A4 gene are responsible for sensorineural hearing loss. Although pendrin localizes to the plasma membrane, 8 missense allele products of SLC26A4 were retained in the intracellular region and lost their anion exchange function (Murakoshi et al. 2022). 10 mM salicylate induced the translocation of 4 out of 8 allele products from the intracellular region to the plasma membrane and restored their anion exchanger activities. 2-hydroxybenzyl alcohol restored the localization of the p.H723R allele products of SLC26A4 from the ER to the plasma membrane at a concentration of 1 mM by 3 h after its administration with less cytotoxicity than 10 mM salicylate (Murakoshi et al. 2022). Mutations of coding regions and splice sites of SLC26A4 cause Pendred syndrome and nonsyndromic recessive hearing loss DFNB4. SLC26A4 is an exchanger of anions and bases. The mutant SLC26A4 phenotype is characterized by inner ear malformations, including an enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA), incomplete cochlear partition type II and modiolar hypoplasia, progressive and fluctuating hearing loss, and vestibular dysfunction (Honda and Griffith 2022). Pendrin (SLC26A4) is an anion exchanger that mediates bicarbonate (HCO3-) exchange for chloride (Cl-) and is crucial for maintaining pH and salt homeostasis in the kidney, lung, and cochlea. Pendrin also exports iodide (I-) in the thyroid gland. Pendrin mutations in humans lead to Pendred syndrome, causing hearing loss and goiter. Niflumic acid (NFA) inhibits pendrin by competing with anion binding and impeding the structural changes necessary for anion exchange (Wang et al. 2024). | Eukaryota |

2.A.53.2.18 | Chloride anion exchanger (Down-regulated in adenoma) (Protein DRA) (Solute carrier family 26 member 3). The intracellular pH regulates ion exchange (Hayashi et al. 2009). Reduced functional expression of NHE3, and DRA contribute to Cl- and Na+ stool loss in microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) diarrhea (Kravtsov et al. 2016). Mutations cause Congenital Chloride Diarrhea (CCD), an autosomal recessive disease in humans. Upon infection with Salmonella, DRA levels go down, preventing Cl- absorption giving rise to diarrhea (A. Quach, personal communication). NHE-3 (TC# 2.A.53.2.18) was markedly downregulated, while the Na+-HCO3--cotransporter (NBC-1; TC# 2.A.31.2.12) and Na+-glucose transporter type-2 (SGLT2 or SGLT-2; TC#2.A.1.7.26) were upregulated after kidney transplantation (Velic et al. 2004). | Eukaryota |
Metazoa, Chordata | SLC26A3 of Homo sapiens |
|
2.A.53.2.19 | Prestin (Solute carrier family 26 member 5). The motor protein responsible for the somatic electromotility of cochlear outer hair cells (OHC); essential for normal hearing sensitivity and frequency selectivity in mammals. Prestin transports a wide variety of monovalent and divalent anions. Many SulP transporters have C-terminal hydrophilic STAS domains that are essential for plasma membrane targeting and protein function. The crystal structure of this STAS domain has been solved at 1.57 Å resolution (Pasqualetto et al. 2010). It senses voltage and binds anions for induction of conformational changes (He et al. 2013). Prestin's 7+7 inverted repeat architecture suggests a central cavity as the substrate-binding site located midway within the anion permeation pathway. Anion binding to this site controls the electromotile activity of prestin (Gorbunov et al. 2014). Zhai et al. 2020 studied the maturation of voltage-induced shifts in the Prestin operating point during trafficking. Calmodulin binds to the STAS domain with a calcium-dependent, one-lobe, binding mode (Costanzi et al. 2021). Prestin is the molecular actuator that drives OHC electromotility (eM). eM is mediated by an area motor mechanism, in which prestin proteins act as elementary actuators by changing their area in the membrane in response to changes in membrane potential. The area changes of a large and densely packed population of prestin molecules add up, resulting in macroscopic cellular movement. At the single protein level, this model implies major voltage-driven conformational rearrangements. SLC26 transporters including prestin generally are dimers. Lenz and Oliver 2021 reviewed the structures and discussed insights into a potential molecular mechanism. Distinct conformations were observed when purifying and imaging prestin bound to either its physiological ligand, chloride, or to competitively inhibitory anions, sulfate or salicylate. These structural snapshots indicate that the conformational landscape of prestin includes rearrangements between the two major domains of prestin's transmembrane region (TMD), core and scaffold ('gate') domains. Distinct conformations differ in the area the TMD occupies in the membrane and in their impact on the immediate lipid environment. Both effects can contribute to the generation of membrane deformation and thus may underly electromotility. Possibly, these or similar structural rearrangements are driven by the membrane potential to mediate piezoelectric activity (Lenz and Oliver 2021). Prestin differs from other Slc26 family members due to its unique piezoelectric-like property that drives OHC electromotility, the putative mechanism for cochlear amplification. Butan et al. 2022 used cryo-EM to determine prestin's structure at 3.6 Å resolution. Prestin was captured in an inward-open state which may reflect prestin's contracted state. Two well-separated transmembrane (TM) domains and two cytoplasmic sulfate transporter and anti-sigma factor antagonist (STAS) domains form a swapped dimer. The TM domains consist of 14 TMSs in two 7+7 inverted repeats, an architecture first observed in the bacterial symporter UraA. Mutation of prestin's chloride binding site removes salicylate competition with anions while retaining the prestin characteristic displacement currents (Nonlinear Capacitance), undermining the extrinsic voltage sensor hypothesis for prestin function (Butan et al. 2022). A structure-based mechanism for the membrane motor prestin has been presented (Ge et al. 2021). A novel role of the folding equilibrium of the anion-binding site in defining prestin's unique voltage-sensing mechanism and electromotility has been proposed (Lin et al. 2023). | Eukaryota |

2.A.53.3.10 | Vacuolar membrane protein, YGR125W, basic amino acid (arginine, etc.) transporter of 1036 aas and 10 - 13 TMSs (Kawano-Kawada et al. 2021). The membrane domain is found in the central part of the protein, residues 210 - 630 with large hydrophilic N- and C-terminal domains. The large C-terminal domain may be a PE-PGRS family domain, some of which may be outer membrane porins (see TC# 9.B.96), and there may be an additional TMS at the C-terminus. Vacuolar levels of basic amino acids drastically decrease in Δygr125w cells. An expression plasmid of YGR125w with HA3-tag inserted in its N-terminal hydrophilic region restored the vacuolar levels of basic amino acids. Uptake of arginine into vacuolar membrane vesicles depended on HA3-YGR125w expression. A conserved aspartate residue in the first TMS (D223) was indispensable for the accumulation of basic amino acids. YGR125w is also designated VSB1. Thus, Ygr125w/Vsb1 contributes to (1) the uptake of arginine into vacuoles and (2) vacuolar compartmentalization of basic amino acids (Kawano-Kawada et al. 2021). | Eukaryota |

Also transports dicarboxylic acids including fumarate, aspartate and succinate, and is therefore designated the dicarboxylic acid uptake system A (DauA) (Karinou et al. 2013) It is the only succinate uptake porter at acidic pHs. The STAS domain forms a complex with the acyl carrier protein, ACP and malonyl-ACP, and the complex has been determined by x-ray crystallography (PDB# 3NY7). This complex links bicarbonate and dicarboxylate transport in some way with fatty acid biosynthesis (Moraes and Reithmeier 2012). | Bacteria |

2.A.53.3.13 | Fumarate (Na+-independent anion) transporter, SLC26dg of 499 aas and 14 TMSs. It has an N-terminal Sulfate-tra-GLY domain with a glycine motif of unknown function and a C-terminal STAS (sulfate transporter and antisigma factor antagonist) domain. The membrane-inserted domain consists of two intertwined inverted repeats of seven transmembrane segments, each resembling the fold of the (unrelated?) transporter, UraA. The structure shows an inward-facing, ligand-free conformation with a potential substrate-binding site at the interface between two helix termini in the center of the membrane (Geertsma et al. 2015). This structure defines the common framework for the diverse functional behavior of the SLC26 family. | Bacteria |

2.A.53.3.14 | Bicarbonate:Na+ symporter of 564 aas and 11 putative TMSs. Crystal structures of the transmembrane domain (BicA(TM)) and the cytoplasmic STAS domain (BicA(STAS)) of BicA were solved (Wang et al. 2019). BicA(TM) was captured in an inward-facing HCO3--bound conformation with a '7+7' fold monomer. HCO3- bound to a cytoplasm-facing hydrophilic pocket within the membrane. BicA(STAS) is a compact homodimer, required for the dimerization of BicA. The dimeric structure of BicA was further analysed using cryo-electron microscopy and physiological analysis of the full-length BicA, and may represent the physiological unit of SLC26-family transporters. Comparing the BicA(TM) structure with the outward-facing transmembrane domain structures of other bicarbonate transporters suggested an elevator transport mechanism that is applicable to the SLC26/4 family of sodium-dependent bicarbonate transporters (Wang et al. 2019). | Bacteria |

2.A.53.4.2 | Sulfate transporter, Rv1739c (Zolotarev et al. 2008). Its STAS domain binds guanine nucleotides as shown by x-ray chrystalography (PDB# 2KLN; Sharma et al. 2011; Sharma et al. 2012). Sulfate uptake by Rv1739c requires CysA and its associated sulfate permease activity, and suggest that Rv1739c may be a CysTWA-dependent sulfate transport protein (Sharma et al. 2012). Sulfate uptake by Rv1739c requires CysA and its associated sulfate permease activity, and suggest that Rv1739c may be a CysTWA-dependent sulfate transport protein (Zolotarev et al. 2008). | Bacteria |

2.A.53.5.3 | Molybdate transporter 2, MOT2, of 464 aas and 10 TMSs. It is required for vacuolar molybdate export during senescence. An N-terminal di-leucine motif is critical for correct subcellular
localisation of MOT2, and its activity is required for
accumulation of molybdate in Arabidopsis seeds. It is involved
in inter-organ translocation (Gasber et al. 2011). | Eukaryota |
