Western blot analysis of recombinant A. pisum sugar transporters 5 expressed in yeast. Western blot analysis of total membranes (5 g membrane 6 protein/lane) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae hexose transport mutant EBY.VW4000 7 expressing ApST1, ApST4, ApST9. Positive control cells (+) were expressing ApST3 8 (previously reported in [1]); and negative control cells (-) were transformed with 9 empty pDR195 expression vector. Yeast membrane proteins were separated on a 10 12.5% polyacrylamide gel, transferred to nitrocellulose, probed with anti-c-Myc 11 antibodies and exposed to film. The signal intensities from each lane are directly 12 comparable. Calculated molecular weight (kDa) for each transporter protein is 13 shown in boxes. 1 Helix 1 HuGLUT1 HuGLUT4 HuGLUT3 HuGLUT2 ACYPI005975 DmGLUT1 ACYPI001980 AB550003 AB549996

TM7 from human GLUT class I transporters 28 (GLUTs 1-4 and 14); GLUT class II transporters (GLUTs 5, 7, 9 and 11) and all insect 29 orthologs are shown. Sequences from TM7 of all transporters were aligned using 30 the ClustalX program. Boxed regions indicate location of the QLS substrate binding 31 motifs. Functionally characterized transporters are shaded grey and substrate 32 specificities are shown. Transported sugars are abbreviated: frc, fructose; gal, 33 galactose; glc, glucose; man, mannose; myo-ins, myo-inositol. Uncharacterized 34 insect transporters, predicted to be specific for glucose (based on the presence of a 35 QLS motif) are shown in red text.
