Résumé
The Natural resistance-associated macrophage proteins (Nramp1 and 2) are proton-dependent solute carriers of divalent metals such as Fe(2+) and Mn(2+) (Slc11a1 and 2). Their expression in both resting and microbicidal macrophages which metabolize iron differently, raises questions about Nramp mechanism of Me(2+) transport and its impact in distinct phenotypic contexts. We developed a low resolution 3D model for Slc11 based on detailed phylogeny and remote homology threading using Escherichia coli Nramp homolog (proton-dependent Mn(2+) transporter, MntH) as experimental system. The predicted fold is consistent with determinations of transmembrane topology and activity; it indicates Slc11 carriers are part of the LeuT superfamily. Homology implies that inverted structural symmetry facilitates Slc11 H(+)-driven Me(2+) import and provides a 3D framework to test structure-activity relationships in macrophages and study functional evolution of MntH/Nramp (Slc11) carriers.
