| Description | PstS is the substrate-binding component of the ABC-type transporter complex pstSACB, involved in phosphate import. This protein is accompanied, generally in the same operon, by an ATP binding protein (pstB) and two permease proteins (pstC and pstA). The accumulation of this protein is enhanced under phosphate starvation [ , ].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 [ , ]. |
