Protein Family Models

This family consists of several bacterial phosphonate metabolism protein PhnG sequences. In Escherichia coli, the phn operon encodes proteins responsible for the uptake and breakdown of phosphonates. The exact function of PhnG is unknown, however it is thought likely that along with six other proteins PhnG makes up the the C-P (carbon-phosphorus) lyase [1]. [1]. 9882650.

PhnH is a component of the C-P lyase system (GenProp0232) for the catabolism of phosphonate compounds. The specific function of this component is unknown. This model is based on Pfam model PF06754.2, and has been broadened to include sequences missed by that model which are clearly true positive hits based on genome context.
