Malonate:Sodium symporter

Last updated

The Malonate:Na+ Symporter (MSS) Family (TC# 2.A.70) is a group of transport proteins belonging to the CPA superfamily. These proteins are composites with constituents ranging in size from 129 to 255 amino acyl residues (aas) and exhibiting 4 to 7 transmembrane segments (TMSs). A representative list of proteins belonging to the MSS family can be found in the Transporter Classification Database. [1]

MadLM

One constituent member of the MSS family, the monobasic malonate:Na+ symporter of Malonomonas rubra, has been functionally and genetically characterized. It consists of two integral membrane proteins, MadL (129 aas; accession number O06931) and MadM (255 aas; accession number O06932) which exhibit 4 and 7 putative transmembrane spanners, respectively. The transporter is believed to catalyze the electroneutral reversible uptake of H+-malonate with one Na+, and both subunits have been shown to be essential for activity. There is a close two-subunit homologue in Pseudomonas putida, which is encoded within the malonate decarboxylase gene cluster of this organism. [2] The NapA Na+/H+ antiporter of Enterococcus hirae (CPA2 family; TC #2.A.37) also appears to be distantly related to MadM. [1]

The transport reaction catalyzed by MadLM is:

H+ malonate (out) + Na+ (out) ⇌ H+ malonate (in) + Na+ (in).

The Malonate Uptake (MatC) family is a constituent of the ion transporter (IT) superfamily. It consists of proteins from Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, simple eukaryotes and archaea. The proteins are of about 450 amino acyl residues in length with 12-14 putative transmembrane segments (TMSs). Closest functionally-characterized homologues are in the DASS family. One member of this family is a putative malonate transporter.

The Putative Sulfate Exporter (PSE) Family (TC# 2.A.98) is composed of several putative 10 or 11 transmembrane segment (TMS) proteins. This family is part of the CPA superfamily and its members are found in diverse bacteria and archaea. The genes encoding some of these homologues may be induced by growth in the presence of cysteate (suyZ) or taurine (tauZ). Although they differ in structure, these proteins are most closely related to the 12 TMS members of the CPA superfamily and exhibit demonstrable homology to the MadML malonate:H+ symporter (TC #2.A.70), although their sequence similarity is low.
