Abstract Solute carrier (SLC) 26 1 or sulfate permease (SulP) 2 anion transporters, belong to
a phylogenetically ancient family of secondary active transporters. Members of the family are …

The elevator transport mechanism is one of the handful of canonical mechanisms by which
transporters shuttle their substrates across the semi-permeable membranes that surround …

Rhodopirellula baltica (R. baltica) is a Planctomycete, known to have intracellular
membranes. Because of its unusual cell structure and ecological significance, we have …

Aphids house large populations of the gammaproteobacterial symbiont Buchnera aphidicola
in specialized bacteriocyte cells. The combined biosynthetic capability of the holobiont …

Cereal crops account for a large proportion of human caloric demand for billions of people
worldwide. However, harmful heavy metal accumulation in grain, ie, cadmium (Cd), creates …

The xanthine permease XanQ of E scherichia coli is a paradigm for transporters of the
evolutionarily broad family nucleobase‐cation symporter‐2 (NCS 2) that transport key …

Glycine, besides exerting essential metabolic functions, is an important inhibitory
neurotransmitter in caudal areas of the central nervous system and also a positive …

Prestin is the motor protein of cochlear outer hair cells. Its unique capability to perform direct,
rapid, and reciprocal electromechanical conversion depends on membrane potential and …

We isolated a putative citrate transporter of the tripartite tricarboxylate transporter (TTT) class
from a metagenomic library of activated sludge from a sewage treatment plant. The …

Transport systems comprise roughly 10% of all proteins in a cell, playing critical roles in
many processes. Improving and expanding their classification is an important goal that can …
