Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein; The natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (NRAMP) family consists of Nramp1, Nramp2, and yeast proteins Smf1 and Smf2. The NRAMP family is a novel family of functional related proteins defined by a conserved hydrophobic core of ten transmembrane domains. This family of membrane proteins are divalent cation transporters. Nramp1 is an integral membrane protein expressed exclusively in cells of the immune system and is recruited to the membrane of a phagosome upon phagocytosis. By controlling divalent cation concentrations Nramp1 may regulate the interphagosomal replication of bacteria. Mutations in Nramp1 may genetically predispose an individual to susceptibility to diseases including leprosy and tuberculosis conversely this might however provide protection form rheumatoid arthritis. Nramp2 is a multiple divalent cation transporter for Fe2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ amongst others it is expressed at high levels in the intestine; and is major transferrin-independent iron uptake system in mammals. The yeast proteins Smf1 and Smf2 may also transport divalent cations.

NRAMP (natural resistance-associated macrophage protein) metal ion transporters; This model describes the Nramp metal ion transporter family. Historically, in mammals these proteins have been functionally characterized as proteins involved in the host pathogen resistance, hence the name - NRAMP. At least two isoforms Nramp1 and Nramp2 have been identified. However the exact mechanism of pathogen resistance was unclear, until it was demonstrated by expression cloning and electrophysiological techniques that this protein was a metal ion transporter. It was also independently demonstrated that a microcytic anemia (mk) locus in mouse, encodes a metal ion transporter (DCT1 or Nramp2). The transporter has a broad range of substrate specificity that include Fe+2, Zn+2, Mn+2, Co+2, Cd+2, Cu+2, Ni+2 and Pb+2. The uptake of these metal ions is coupled to proton symport. Metal ions are essential cofactors in a number of biological process including, oxidative phosphorylation, gene regulation and metal ion homeostasis. Nramp1 could confer resistance to infection in one of the two ways. (1) The uptake of Fe+2 can produce toxic hydroxyl radicals via Fenton reaction killing the pathogens in phagosomes or (2) Deplete the metal ion pools in the phagosome and deprive the pathogens of metal ions, which is critical for its survival.

Click on the triangle to view details about the feature, including a multiple sequence alignment
of your query sequence and the protein sequences used to curate the domain model,
where hash marks (#) above the aligned sequences show the location of the conserved feature residues.
The thumbnail image, if present, provides an approximate view of the feature's location in 3 dimensions.

This image shows a graphical summary of conserved domains identified on the query sequence.
The Show Concise/Full Display button at the top of the page can be used to select the desired level of detail: only top scoring hits
(labeled illustration) or all hits
(labeled illustration).
Domains are color coded according to superfamilies
to which they have been assigned. Hits with scores that pass a domain-specific threshold
(specific hits) are drawn in bright colors.
Others (non-specific hits) and
superfamily placeholders are drawn in pastel colors.
if a domain or superfamily has been annotated with functional sites (conserved features),
they are mapped to the query sequence and indicated through sets of triangles
with the same color and shade of the domain or superfamily that provides the annotation. Mouse over the colored bars or triangles to see descriptions of the domains and features.
