2.A.25 The Alanine or Glycine:Cation Symporter (AGCS) Family

Members of the AGCS family transport alanine and/or glycine in symport with Na+ and or H+. The proteins are of 445-542 amino acyl residues in length and possess 8-12 putative transmembrane α-helical spanners. They may possess 11 TMSs as seems to be true for DagA and AgcS, although Acp has only 8 (truncated?). They are found in bacteria and archaea. Only three members of the family have been functionally characterized. These proteins show limited sequence similarity in the APC family (TC# 2.A.3), and homology has been established.

The generalized transport reaction catalyzed by the AGCS family is:

alanine or glycine (out) + Na+ or H+ (out) → alanine or glycine (in) + Na+ or H+ (in).

This family belongs to the: APC Superfamily.
