| Description | The gene pair cydCD encodes an ABC-family transporter in which each gene contains an N-terminal membrane-spanning domain and a C-terminal ATP-binding domain [ ]. In Escherichia coli these genes were discovered as mutants which caused the terminal haem-copper oxidase complex cytochrome bd to fail to assemble. Recent work has shown that the transporter is involved in the export of redox-active thiol compounds such as cysteine and glutathione [, ]. The linkage to assembly of the cytochrome bd complex is further supported by the conserved operon structure found outside the gammaproteobacteria (cydABCD) containing both the transporter and oxidase genes components. |
