Protein Domain : ECF transporter transmembrane protein EcfT IPR024919

Type	Family
Description	Energy-coupling factor (ECF) transporters consist of a substrate-specific component (known as the S component), and an energy-coupling module [ ]. The substrate-binding component is a small integral membrane protein which captures specific substrates and forms an active transporter in the presence of the energy-coupling AT module. The energy coupling module is composed of an ATPase typical of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) superfamily (A component) and a characteristic transmembrane protein (T component). Unlike the ABC transporters, an energy coupling module can be shared between multiple different substrate-binding components.This entry represents the transmembrane component from a number of ECF transporters. The function of this component is not known, but it contains two conserved motifs (I and II) that are important for transporter function [ ]. Motif I is essential for intramolecular signaling while motifs I and II together are essential for subunit assembly of modular ECF transporters
