Formate-nitrite transporters are a family of evolutionarily related transmembrane bacteria and archaebacterial proteins involved in transporting formate or nitrite[1]. They include:

  • FocA and focB, from Escherichia coli, transporters involved in the bidirectional transport of formate.
  • FdhC, from Methanobacterium formicicum and Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus (Methanobacterium thermoformicicum), a probable formate transporter.
  • NirC, from E. coli and Salmonella typhimurium, a probable nitrite transporter.
  • Bacillus subtilis hypothetical protein YrhG.
  • B. subtilis hypothetical protein YwcJ (ipa-48R).
