| Description | 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 [ , ].This entry includes thiB from Proteobacteria and its homologues from Archaea, Actinobacteria, Euryarchaeota and other bacteria. ThiB is a thiamine/thiamine pyrophosphate-binding protein and part of the ABC transporter complex ThiBPQ involved in thiamine import. ThiBPQ is required for transport of thiamine and thiamine pyrophosphate in Salmonella typhimurium []. This entry also includes tbpA from E. coli []. |
