Arsenical pump-driving ATPase ArsA ArsA ATPase functions as an efflux pump located on the inner membrane of the cell. This ATP-driven oxyanion pump catalyzes the extrusion of arsenite, antimonite and arsenate. Maintenance of a low intracellular concentration of oxyanion produces resistance to the toxic agents. The pump is composed of two subunits, the catalytic ArsA subunit and the membrane subunit ArsB, which are encoded by arsA and arsB genes, respectively. Arsenic efflux in bacteria is catalyzed by either ArsB alone or by ArsAB complex. The ATP-coupled pump, however, is more efficient. ArsA is composed of two homologous halves, A1 and A2, connected by a short linker sequence.
