C4-dicarboxylate transporter/malic acid transport protein family includes Mae1
This family contains eukaryotic homologs of C4-dicarboxylate transporter/malic acid transport proteins which are part of the Tellurite-resistance/Dicarboxylate Transporter (TDT) family. This includes the MAE1 gene in Schizosaccharomyces pombe gene that encodes malate permease, Mae1, which functions by proton symport and transports C4-dicarboxylates (malate, fumarate, succinate, oxaloacetate, etc.), but not K-ketoglutarate.
Comment:Mutational and structural studies in Haemophilus influenzae TehA (HiTehA) show that this residue plays a crucial role in gating of the anion channel
