cDNA clones encoding rat GLUT5-small intestinal facilitative hexose transporter were isolated from a jejunum library by cross-hybridization with a human GLUT5 cDNA probe. The cDNA sequence indicates that rat GLUT5 is composed of 502 amino acids and has 81.5% amino acid identity and 87.3% similarity with the sequence of human GLUT5. Expression of synthetic rat GLUT5 mRNA in Xenopus oocytes showed that rat GLUT5 was able to mediate the uptake of fructose and, to a lesser extent, of glucose. RNA blotting studies showed that GLUT5 mRNA was present in rat small intestine, kidney, and brain. Although GLUT5 mRNA is expressed in human testis, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle, it could not be detected by RNA blotting in these rat tissues. Developmental studies showed low levels of GLUT5 mRNA in rat small intestine and kidney during the prenatal period with a rapid induction of GLUT5 expression occurring postnatally. In situ hybridization studies of GLUT5 mRNA expression in the small intestine revealed differential expression along the crypt-villus axis with the highest levels of mRNA being in the midvillus region. In addition, there was quantitatively more GLUT5 mRNA detected in the proximal as opposed to the distal small intestine. << Less

The altered activity of the fructose transporter GLUT5, an isoform of the facilitated-diffusion glucose transporter family, has been linked to disorders such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. GLUT5 is also overexpressed in certain tumour cells, and inhibitors are potential drugs for these conditions. Here we describe the crystal structures of GLUT5 from Rattus norvegicus and Bos taurus in open outward- and open inward-facing conformations, respectively. GLUT5 has a major facilitator superfamily fold like other homologous monosaccharide transporters. On the basis of a comparison of the inward-facing structures of GLUT5 and human GLUT1, a ubiquitous glucose transporter, we show that a single point mutation is enough to switch the substrate-binding preference of GLUT5 from fructose to glucose. A comparison of the substrate-free structures of GLUT5 with occluded substrate-bound structures of Escherichia coli XylE suggests that, in addition to global rocker-switch-like re-orientation of the bundles, local asymmetric rearrangements of carboxy-terminal transmembrane bundle helices TM7 and TM10 underlie a 'gated-pore' transport mechanism in such monosaccharide transporters. << Less
