6. ••], these studies determined the first two structures of members of the major facilitator superfamily transporters, which are the most abundant family of transporters in nature. The structures confirm and extend the massive amount of experimental data that is available for this type of transporter. These transporter proteins consist of two homologous domains, each comprising six transmembrane segments connected by a large loop.

8. +). Remarkably, in the presence of a pH gradient, the force on the transport is directed outwards towards the cell exterior. This transporter consists of two homologous domains of five TMSs, which have opposite orientations in the membrane.

These translocation sites are formed by two pore-loop structures in the form of helical hairpins that enter the membrane from opposite sides. The proteins consist of two groups of TMSs containing six and two TMSs. No internal homology is observed.
