| Description | This entry includes a group of transmembrane proteins, including MgtC, SapB, SrpB and YhiD from bacteria. The MgtC protein is found in an operon with the Mg2+ transporter protein MgtB. However, MgtC is not a Mg2+ transporter [ , ]. The expression of MgtC is a virulence factor required for growth in low Mg2+ medium and for intramacrophage survival []. MgtC may be involved in regulating membrane potential by activating Na+/K+-ATPase [, ]. YhiD from E. coli is an integral membrane protein related to MgtC. It has been suggested to be an essential component for the Mg2+ uptake system in E. coli [ ]. |
