C-terminal tails of plant hexose/H(+)-symporters of the major facilitator superfamily contain a highly conserved motif of four amino acids: HWFW. A deletion of these four amino acids in the Chlorella HUP1 protein leads to a decrease in transport activity by a factor of 3-4. The mutated tail is highly sensitive to trypsin; it does not show alpha-helical conformation in contrast to the wild type C-terminal peptide with an alpha-helical content of at least 15%. The production of monoclonal antibody 416B8 recognizing an epitope within the central loop of HUP1 protein has been a prerequisite for the experiments described.
