Structure of the multidrug transporter EmrD from Escherichia coli.
EmrD is a multidrug transporter from the Major Facilitator Superfamily that expels amphipathic compounds across the inner membrane of Escherichia coli. Here, we report the x-ray structure of EmrD determined to a resolution of 3.5 angstroms. The structure reveals an interior that is composed mostly of hydrophobic residues, which is consistent with its role transporting amphipathic molecules. Two...
متن کاملStructure and mechanism of the glycerol-3-phosphate transporter from Escherichia coli.
The major facilitator superfamily represents the largest group of secondary membrane transporters in the cell. Here we report the 3.3 angstrom resolution structure of a member of this superfamily, GlpT, which transports glycerol-3-phosphate into the cytoplasm and inorganic phosphate into the periplasm. The amino- and carboxyl-terminal halves of the protein exhibit a pseudo two-fold symmetry. Cl...
متن کاملStructure of the multidrug resistance efflux transporter EmrE from Escherichia coli.
Multidrug resistance efflux transporters threaten to reverse the progress treating infectious disease by extruding a wide range of drug and other cytotoxic compounds. One such drug transporter, EmrE, from the small multidrug resistance family, utilizes proton gradients as an energy source to drive substrate translocation. In an effort to understand the molecular structural basis of this transpo...
متن کاملThe ascorbate transporter of Escherichia coli.
The sgaTBA genes of Escherichia coli encode a putative 12-transmembrane alpha-helical segment (12 TMS) transporter, an enzyme IIB-like protein and an enzyme IIA-like protein of the phosphotransferase system (PTS), respectively. We show that all three proteins as well as the energy-coupling PTS proteins, enzyme I and HPr, are required for the anaerobic utilization and uptake of L-ascorbate in vi...
متن کاملThe Glucose Transporter of Escherichia coli
The glucose transporter of the bacterial phosphotransferase system couples vectorial translocation to phosphorylation of the transported sugar. It consists of a transmembrane subunit (IICBGIc) and a hydrophilic subunit (IIAG1"). The IICBGIC subunit consists of two domains. The NH,-terminal IIC domain (residues 1-386) spans the membrane eight times and contains the substrate binding site. The CO...
