periplasmic sugar-binding domain of the thermophilic Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis ribose binding protein (ttRBP) and its mesophilic homologs
Periplasmic sugar-binding domain of the thermophilic Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis D-ribose binding protein (ttRBP) and its mesophilic homologs. Members of this group belong to the type 1 periplasmic binding protein superfamily, whose members are involved in chemotaxis, ATP-binding cassette transport, and intercellular communication in central nervous system. The thermophilic and mesophilic ribose-binding proteins are structurally very similar, but differ substantially in thermal stability.
