摘要

Solute carrier (SLC) transporters govern most of the chemical exchange across cellular membranes and are integral to metabolic regulation, which in turn is linked to cellular function and identity. Despite their key role, individual functions of the SLC superfamily members were not evaluated systematically. We determined the metabolic and transcriptional profiles upon SLC overexpression in knock-out or wild-type isogenic cell backgrounds for 378 SLCs and 441 SLCs, respectively. Targeted metabolomics provided a fingerprint of 189 intracellular metabolites, while transcriptomics offered insights into cellular programs modulated by SLC expression. Beyond the metabolic profiles of 102 SLCs directly related to their known substrates, we identified putative substrates or metabolic pathway connections for 71 SLCs without previously annotated bona fide substrates, including SLC45A4 as a new polyamine transporter. By comparing the molecular profiles, we identified functionally related SLC groups, including some with distinct impacts on osmolyte balancing and glycosylation. The assessment of functionally related human genes presented here may serve as a blueprint for other systematic studies and supports future investigations into the functional roles of SLCs.
