Type: | Family | Name: | TRAP transporter permease protein |
Description: | The tripartite ATP-independent periplasmic (TRAP) transport system is firmly established as a new type of extracytoplasmic solute receptor (ESR)-dependent uptake systems, unrelated to ABC transporters. In TRAP transport systems the driving force for solute accumulation is an electrochemical ion gradient and not ATP hydrolysis []. The first TRAP transporter to be characterised was the high-affinity C4-dicarboxylate transport (Dct) system from Rhodobacter capsulatus []. This consists of three proteins; an ESR (DctP) and small (DctQ) and large (DctM) integral membrane proteins.This entry represents a family of TRAP transporter permease proteins, including DctM, SiaT (involved in sialic acid uptake []) and YiaN (involved in the uptake of 2,3-diketo-L-gulonate [, ]). | Short Name: | TRAP_transpt_permease |
