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.

NRT1/PTR family (NPF), subfamily 5 of the Major Facilitator Superfamily of transporters; The plant Nitrate transporter/Peptide transporter (NRT1/PTR) family (NPF) is related to the POT (proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter), Peptide transporter (PepT/PTR), or Solute Carrier 15 (SLC15) family in animals. In contrast to related animal and bacterial counterparts, the plant proteins transport a wide variety of substrates including nitrate, peptides, amino acids, dicarboxylates, glucosinolates, as well as the plant hormones indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and abscisic acid (ABA). A recent study identified eight subfamilies within this family, named NPF1-NPF8. NPF5 includes Arabidopsis thaliana PTR3 (AtPTR3, now named AtNPF5.2), which is a wound-induced peptide transporter that is necessary for defense against virulent bacterial pathogens. NPF5 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.

Proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter (POT) family of the Major Facilitator Superfamily of transporters; The Proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter (POT) family is present across all major kingdoms of life and is known by a variety of names. It is referred to as the Nitrate transporter/Peptide transporter (NRT1/PTR) family (NPF) in plants, and in addition to POT, it is also known as the Peptide transporter (PepT/PTR) or Solute Carrier 15 (SLC15) family in animals. Members of this family are proton-driven symporters involved in nitrogen acquisition in the form of di- and tripeptides. Plant members transport other nitrogenous ligands including nitrate, the plant hormone auxin, and glucosinolate compounds that are important for seed defense. POT proteins exhibit substrate multispecificity, with one transporter able to recognize as many as 8,400 types of di/tripeptides and certain peptide-like drugs. The POT 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.
