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.

Class 2 Glucose transporters (GLUTs) of the Major Facilitator Superfamily; GLUTs, also called Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporters (SLC2A), are a family of proteins that facilitate the transport of hexoses such as glucose and fructose. There are fourteen GLUTs found in humans; they display different substrate specificities and tissue expression. They have been categorized into three classes based on sequence similarity: Class 1 (GLUTs 1-4, 14); Class 2 (GLUTs 5, 7, 9, and 11); and Class 3 (GLUTs 6, 8, 10, 12, and HMIT). GLUT5, also called Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 5 (SLC2A5), is a well-established fructose transporter found in the small intestine. GLUT7 (or SLC2A7) is a high-affinity glucose and fructose transporter expressed in the small intestine and colon. GLUT9 (or SLC2A9) transports urate and fructose, and is most strongly expressed in the basolateral membranes of proximal renal tubular cells, liver and placenta. It may play a role in urate reabsorption by proximal tubules. GLUT11 (or SLC2A11) is a facilitative glucose transporter expressed in heart and skeletal muscle. GLUT proteins are comprised of about 500 amino acid residues, possess a single N-linked oligosaccharide, and have 12 transmembrane segments. They belong to the Glucose transporter -like (GLUT-like) 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.

Fungal Hexose transporter subfamily of the Major Facilitator Superfamily of transporters and similar proteins; The fungal hexose transporter (HXT) subfamily is comprised of functionally redundant proteins that function mainly in the transport of glucose, as well as other sugars such as galactose and fructose. Saccharomyces cerevisiae has 20 genes that encode proteins in this family (HXT1 to HXT17, GAL2, SNF3, and RGT2). Seven of these (HXT1-7) encode functional glucose transporters. Gal2p is a galactose transporter, while Rgt2p and Snf3p act as cell surface glucose receptors that initiate signal transduction in response to glucose, functioning in an induction pathway responsible for glucose uptake. Rgt2p is activated by high levels of glucose and stimulates expression of low affinity glucose transporters such as Hxt1p and Hxt3p, while Snf3p generates a glucose signal in response to low levels of glucose, stimulating the expression of high affinity glucose transporters such as Hxt2p and Hxt4p. Schizosaccharomyces pombe contains eight GHT genes (GHT1-8) belonging to this family. Ght1, Ght2, and Ght5 are high-affinity glucose transporters; Ght3 is a high-affinity gluconate transporter; and Ght6 high-affinity fructose transporter. The substrate specificities for Ght4, Ght7, and Ght8 remain undetermined. The HXT subfamily belongs to the Glucose transporter -like (GLUT-like) 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.

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.

Purine ribonucleoside efflux pump NepI and similar transporters of the Major Facilitator Superfamily; This family is composed of purine efflux pumps such as Escherichia coli NepI and Bacillus subtilis PbuE, sugar efflux transporters such as Corynebacterium glutamicum arabinose efflux permease, multidrug resistance (MDR) transporters such as Streptomyces lividans chloramphenicol resistance protein (CmlR), and similar proteins. NepI and PbuE are involved in the efflux of purine ribonucleosides such as guanosine, adenosine and inosine, as well as purine bases like guanine, adenine, and hypoxanthine, and purine base analogs. They play a role in the maintenance of cellular purine base pools, as well as in protecting the cells and conferring resistance against toxic purine base analogs such as 6-mercaptopurine. 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. The NepI-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.

Metazoan Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2 (SV2) and related small molecule transporters of the Major Facilitator Superfamily; This family is composed of metazoan synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2 (SV2) and related small molecule transporters including those that transport inorganic phosphate (Pht), aromatic compounds (PcaK and related proteins), proline/betaine (ProP), alpha-ketoglutarate (KgtP), citrate (CitA), shikimate (ShiA), and cis,cis-muconate (MucK), among others. SV2 is a transporter-like protein that serves as the receptor for botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT/A), one of seven neurotoxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. BoNT/A blocks neurotransmitter release by cleaving synaptosome-associated protein of 25 kD (SNAP-25) within presynaptic nerve terminals. Also included in this family is synaptic vesicle 2 (SV2)-related protein (SVOP) and similar proteins. SVOP is a transporter-like nucleotide binding protein that localizes to neurotransmitter-containing vesicles. The SV2-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.

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.

Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2B of the Major Facilitator Superfamily of transporters; Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2 (SV2) is a transporter-like integral membrane glycoprotein, with 12 transmembrane regions, expressed in vertebrates and is localized to synaptic and endocrine secretory vesicles. Three isoforms have been identified, SV2A, SV2B, and SV2C. SV2A and SV2B are widely expressed in the brain, while SV2C is more restricted to evolutionarily older brain. SV2 isoforms have been shown to be critical for the proper function of the central nervous system. SV2 serves as the receptor for botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT/A), one of seven neurotoxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. BoNT/A blocks neurotransmitter release by cleaving synaptosome-associated protein of 25 kD (SNAP-25) within presynaptic nerve terminals. SV2B is a key modulator of amyloid toxicity at the synaptic site and also has an essential role in the formation and maintenance of the glomerular capillary wall. SV2B belongs to the Metazoan Synaptic Vesicle Glycoprotein 2 (SV2) and related small molecule transporter family (SV2-like) 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.
