| Description | This sugar-binding component of ABC transporter complexes is found in rhamnose catabolism operon contexts. Mutation of the gene in Rhizobium leguminosarum [ ] abolishes rhamnose transport and prevents growth on rhamnose as a carbon source.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 [ , ]. |
