Mrp superfamily

The Na⁺ Transporting Mrp Superfamily is a superfamily of integral membrane transport proteins.

It includes the TC families:

2.A.63 -

3.D.1 -

3.D.9 - The H⁺-translocating F₄₂₀H₂ Dehydrogenase (F₄₂₀H₂DH) Family

Mrp of Bacillus subtilis is a 7 subunit Na⁺/H⁺ antiporter complex (TC# 2.A.63.1.4). All subunits are homologous to the subunits in other members of this monovalent cation (K⁺ or Na⁺):proton antiporter-3 (CPA3) family as well as subunits in the archaeal hydrogenases (TC#s 3.D.1.4.1 and 3.D.1.4.2), which share several subunits with NADH dehydrogenase subunits (3.D.1). The largest subunits of the Mrp complex (MrpA and MrpD) are homologous to subunits in NADH dehydrogenases (NDHs): ND2, ND4 and ND5 in the fungal NADH dehydrogenase complex and most other NDHs, as well as subunits in the F₄₂₀H₂ dehydrogenase of Methanosarcina mazei (TC#3.D.9.1.1). These homologous subunits may catalyze Na⁺/K⁺ and/or H⁺ transport.
