Protein Domain : Periplasmic solute binding protein, ZnuA-like IPR006127

Type	Family
Description	Members of this family constitute the solute-binding protein component of cluster-9 ABC transporters. This family includes periplasmic solute binding protein TroA from Treponema pallidum, which binds Zn2+ and Mn2+ [ ]. In Streptococcus suis, TroA is required for manganese acquisition []. Related proteins are found in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including manganese-binding lipoprotein MntA [] and high-affinity zinc uptake system protein ZnuA [].ZnuA is part of the bacterial zinc-uptake complex ZnuABC. ZinT acts as a Zn2+-buffering protein that delivers Zn2+ to ZnuA, a high-affinity zinc-uptake protein. In Gram-negative bacteria the ZnuABC transporter system ensures an adequate import of zinc in Zn2+-poor environments, such as those encountered by pathogens within the infected host [ , ].
Short Name	ZnuA-like
