TerC family protein
This family contains a number of integral membrane proteins that also contains the TerC protein. TerC has been implicated in resistance to tellurium. This protein may be involved in efflux of tellurium ions. The tellurite-resistant Escherichia coli strain KL53 was found during testing of the group of clinical isolates for antibiotics and heavy metal ion resistance [2]. Determinant of the tellurite resistance of the strain was located on a large conjugative plasmid. Analyses showed, the genes terB, terC, terD and terE are essential for conservation of the resistance. The members of the family contain a number of conserved aspartates that could be involved in binding to metal ions. [1]. 11016400.

TerC family protein similar to Serratia marcescens tellurium resistance protein TerC and Shigella flexneri putative membrane-bound redox modulator Alx
tellurium resistance membrane protein TerC
TerC, a membrane protein related to the manganese homeostasis protein Alx and a part of a plasmid-borne multigene system associated with tellurium resistance, is a probable efflux transporter.
TerC/Alx family metal homeostasis membrane protein
Members of this family include the tellurium resistance protein TerC (a probable efflux transporter) and the manganese homeostasis protein Alx from Escherichia coli K-12.
