Major Facilitator Superfamily; The Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) is a large and diverse group of secondary transporters that includes uniporters, symporters, and antiporters. MFS proteins facilitate the transport across cytoplasmic or internal membranes of a variety of substrates including ions, sugar phosphates, drugs, neurotransmitters, nucleosides, amino acids, and peptides. They do so using the electrochemical potential of the transported substrates. Uniporters transport a single substrate, while symporters and antiporters transport two substrates in the same or in opposite directions, respectively, across membranes. MFS proteins are typically 400 to 600 amino acids in length, and the majority contain 12 transmembrane alpha helices (TMs) connected by hydrophilic loops. The N- and C-terminal halves of these proteins display weak similarity and may be the result of a gene duplication/fusion event. Based on kinetic studies and the structures of a few bacterial superfamily members, GlpT (glycerol-3-phosphate transporter), LacY (lactose permease), and EmrD (multidrug transporter), MFS proteins are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement. Bacterial members function primarily for nutrient uptake, and as drug-efflux pumps to confer antibiotic resistance. Some MFS proteins have medical significance in humans such as the glucose transporter Glut4, which is impaired in type II diabetes, and glucose-6-phosphate transporter (G6PT), which causes glycogen storage disease when mutated.

Solute carrier family 17 member 9 and similar proteins of the Major Facilitator Superfamily of transporters; This subfamily includes solute carrier family 17 member 9 (SLC17A9) and similar proteins including plant inorganic phosphate transporters (PHT4) that are also probably anion transporters. SLC17A9, also called vesicular nucleotide transporter (VNUT), is involved in vesicular storage and exocytosis of ATP. It facilitates the accumulation of ATP and other nucleotides in secretory vesicles such as adrenal chromaffin granules and synaptic vesicles. It also functions as a lysosomal ATP transporter and regulates cell viability. Plant PHT4 family transporters mediate the transport of inorganic phosphate and may also transport organic anions. The Arabidopsis protein AtPHT4;4 is a chloroplast-localized ascorbate transporter. PHT4 proteins show differential expression that suggests specialized functions. The SLC17A9-like subfamily belongs to the Solute carrier 17 (SLC17) family of the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins. MFS proteins are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement.

Protein spinster and spinster homologs of the Major Facilitator Superfamily of transporters; The protein spinster family includes Drosophila protein spinster, its vertebrate homologs, and similar proteins. Humans contain three homologs called protein spinster homologs 1 (SPNS1), 2 (SPNS2), and 3 (SPNS3). Protein spinster and its homologs may be sphingolipid transporters that play central roles in endosomes and/or lysosomes storage. SPNS2 is also called sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) transporter and is required for migration of myocardial precursors. S1P is a secreted lipid mediator that plays critical roles in cardiovascular, immunological, and neural development and function. The spinster-like family belongs to the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins, which are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement.

3.43e-04
Yeast Polyamine transporter 1 (Tpo1) and similar multidrug resistance (MDR) transporters of the Major Facilitator Superfamily; This family is composed of fungal multidrug resistance (MDR) transporters including several proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae such as polyamine transporters 1-4 (Tpo1-4), quinidine resistance proteins 1-3 (Qdr1-3), dityrosine transporter 1 (Dtr1), fluconazole resistance protein 1 (Flr1), and protein HOL1. MDR transporters are drug/H+ antiporters (DHA) that mediate the efflux of a variety of drugs and toxic compounds, and confer resistance to these compounds. For example, Flr1 confers resistance to the azole derivative fluconazole while Tpo1 confers resistance and adaptation to quinidine and ketoconazole. The polyamine transporters are involved in the detoxification of excess polyamines in the cytoplasm. Tpo1-like MDR transporters belong to the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins, which are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement.

Solute carrier family 17 member 5 (also called sialin) of the Major Facilitator Superfamily of transporters; Solute carrier family 17 member 5 (SLC17A5) is also called sialin, H(+)/nitrate cotransporter, H(+)/sialic acid cotransporter (AST), membrane glycoprotein HP59, or vesicular H(+)/aspartate-glutamate cotransporter. It transports glucuronic acid and free sialic acid out of the lysosome after its cleavage from sialoglycoconjugates, which is required for normal CNS myelination. It also mediates the membrane potential-dependent uptake of aspartate and glutamate into synaptic vesicles and synaptic-like microvesicles. In the plasma membrane, it functions as a nitrate transporter. Recessive mutations in the SLC17A5 gene cause the allelic disorders, Infantile sialic acid storage disease (ISSD) and Salla disease (a predominantly neurological disorder). SLC17A5 belongs to the Solute carrier 17 (SLC17) family of the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins. MFS proteins are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement.
