Protein Domain : D-xylose ABC transporter, substrate-binding protein IPR013456

Type	Family
Description	This entry represents the D-xylose ABC transporter substrate-binding protein which is a periplasmic (when in Gram-negative bacteria) binding protein for D-xylose import by a high-affinity ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter [ , , ].Bacterial high affinity transport systems are involved in active transport of solutes across the cytoplasmic membrane. Most of the bacterial ABC (ATP-binding cassette) importers are composed of one or two transmembrane permease proteins, one or two nucleotide-binding proteins and a highly specific periplasmic solute-binding protein. In Gram-negative bacteria the solute-binding proteins are dissolved in the periplasm, while in archaea and Gram-positive bacteria, their solute-binding proteins are membrane-anchored lipoproteins [ , ].
