MurJ/MviN, a subfamily of the multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE)-like proteins; Escherichia coli MurJ (MviN) has been identified as essential for murein biosynthesis. It has been suggested that MurJ functions as the peptidoglycan lipid II flippase which is involved in translocation of lipid-anchored peptidoglycan precursors across the cytoplasmic membrane, though results obtained in Bacillus subtilis seem to indicate that its MurJ homologs are not essential for growth. Some MviN family members (e.g. in Mycobacterium tuberculosis) possess an extended C-terminal region that contains an intracellular pseudo-kinase domain and an extracellular domain resembling carbohydrate-binding proteins. Proteins from the MATE family are involved in exporting metabolites across the cell membrane and are often responsible for multidrug resistance (MDR).

murein biosynthesis integral membrane protein MurJ; This model represents MurJ (previously MviN), a family of integral membrane proteins predicted to have ten or more transmembrane regions. Members have been suggested to act as a lipid II flippase, translocated a precursor of murein. However, it appears FtsW has that activity. Flippase activity for MurJ has not been shown.

Lipid II flippase MurJ; Peptidoglycan synthesis (PG) biosynthesis involves the formation of peptidoglycan precursor lipid II (undecaprenyl-pyrophosphate-linked N-acetyl glucosamine-N-acetyl muramic acid-pentapeptide) on the cytosolic face of the cell membrane. Lipid II is then translocated across the membrane and its glycopeptide moiety becomes incorporated into the growing cell wall mesh. MviN, renamed as MurJ, is a lipid II flippase essential for cell wall peptidoglycan synthesis. MurJ belongs to the MVF (mouse virulence factor) family of MOP superfamily transporters, which also includes the MATE (multidrug and toxic compound extrusion) transporter and eukaryotic OLF (oligosaccharidyl-lipid flippase) families. In addition to the canonical MOP transporter core consisting of 12 transmembrane helices (TMs), MurJ has two additional C-terminal TMs (13 and 14) of unknown function. Structural analysis indicates that the N lobe (TMs 1-6) and C lobe (TMs 7-14) are arranged in an inward-facing N-shape conformation, rather than the outward-facing V-shape conformation observed in all existing MATE transporter structures. Furthermore, a hydrophobic groove is formed by two C-terminal transmembrane helices, which leads into a large central cavity that is mostly cationic. Mutagenesis studies, revealed a solvent-exposed cavity that is essential for function. Mutation of conserved residues (Ser17, Arg18, Arg24, Arg52, and Arg255) at the proximal site failed to complement MurJ function, consistent with the idea that these residues are important for recognizing the diphosphate and/or sugar moieties of lipid II. It has also been suggested that the chloride ion in the central cavity and a zinc ion at the beginning of TM 7 might be functionally important.
