Proteins currently known to belong to the Ni2+-Co2+ Transporter (NiCoT) Family (TC# 2.A.52) can be found in organisms ranging from Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria to archaea and some eukaryotes. Members of this family catalyze uptake of Ni2+ and/or Co2+ in a proton motive force-dependent process. [1]
Structure
These proteins range in size from about 300 to 400 amino acyl residues and possess 7 or 8 transmembrane segments (TMSs) thought to result from intragenic 4 TMS duplication, followed by a deletion in the case of the 7 TMS variety. Topological analyses with the HoxN Ni2+ transporter of Ralstonia eutropha (Alcaligenes eutrophus) suggest that it possesses 8 TMSs with its N- and C-termini in the cytoplasm. The Co2+ (Ni2+) transporter of Rhodococcus rhodochrous, NhlF, exhibits eight putative TMSs, and eight apparent TMSs are revealed by a hydropathy analysis of the multiple alignment of the NiCoT family protein sequences. An HX4DH sequence in helix 2 of the HoxN protein has been implicated in Ni2+ binding, and both helix 1 and helix 2 which interact spatially, form the selectivity filter[2]. In the H. pylori NixA homologue, several conserved motifs have been shown to be important for Ni2+ binding and transport. [3][1]
At least one crystal structure is known, found by Yu et. al. [4], available at PDB: 4M58.
Reaction
The overall reaction catalyzed by the proteins of the NiCoT family is: [1]
- [Ni2+ and/or Co2+] (out) → [Ni2+ and/or Co2+] (in).
Proteins
Several known proteins belong to the Ni2+-Co2+ Transporter (NiCoT) Family. A complete list of these proteins along with their transporter classification identification number (TCID), domain, kingdom/phylum, and some examples can be found in the Transporter Classification Database.
