Protein Family Models

ABC transporters for a large family of proteins responsible for translocation of a variety of compounds across biological membranes. ABC transporters are the largest family of proteins in many completely sequenced bacteria. ABC transporters are composed of two copies of this domain and two copies of a transmembrane domain Pfam:PF00664. These four domains may belong to a single polypeptide as in Swiss:P13569, or belong in different polypeptide chains. [1]. 1864505.

This model describes cyclic peptide transporter in bacteria. Bacteria have elaborate pathways for the production of toxins and secondary metabolites. Many such compounds, including syringomycin and pyoverdine are synthesized on non-ribosomal templates consisting of a multienzyme complex. On several occasions the proteins of the complex and transporter protein are present on the same operon. Often times these compounds cross the biological membrane by specific transporters. Syringomycin is an amphipathic, cylclic lipodepsipeptide when inserted into host causes formation of channels, permeable to variety of cations. On the other hand, pyoverdine is a cyclic octa-peptidyl dihydroxyquinoline, which is efficient in sequestering iron for uptake.
