Glycine data from LIS
Type | Family |
Description | This entry consists of proteins from eukaryotes and prokarytotes. It includes Escherichia coli autoinducer-2 (AI-2) transport protein TqsA (YdgG), which controls the transport of the quorum-sensing signal AI-2 either by enhancing its secretion or inhibiting its uptake and consequently represses biofilm formation and motility and affects the global gene expression in biofilms [ ]. TqsA exhibit a uniform topology with 8 putative transmembrane segments (TMSs), a structure shared by proteins in this family. The function of proteins in this family are mostly unknown, however, it has been suggested that they may transport a variety of compounds, possibly all related in structure []. This entry also includes transport proteins such as sodium-lithium/proton antiporter from Halobacillus [] and sporulation protein YtvI from Bacillus subtilis, a putative permease [].This entry also includes uncharacterised transmembrane protein 245 (TMEM245) from eukaryotes. |
