Two members of the Tellurite-Resistance/Dicarboxylate
Transporter (TDT) family have been functionally characterised. One is the TehA
protein of Escherichia coli which has been implicated in
resistance to
tellurite; the other is the Mae1 protein of Schizosaccharomyces pombe which functions in the uptake of
malate and other
dicarboxylates by a proton
symport mechanism. These proteins have 10 putative transmembrane helices.[1][2]
