Protein Family Models

The bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate: sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) is a multi-protein system involved in the regulation of a variety of metabolic and transcriptional processes. The sugar-specific permease of the PTS consists of three domains (IIA, IIB and IIC). The IIC domain catalyses the transfer of a phosphoryl group from IIB to the sugar substrate. [1]. 9689210.

This HMM represents the fused enzyme II B and C components of the sucrose-specific PTS sugar transporter system [1]. Sucrose is converted to sucrose-6-phosphate in the process of translocation into the cell. Some of these transporters lack their own IIA domains and instead use the glucose IIA protein (IIAglc or Crr). The exceptions to this rule are Staphylococci, Streptococci, Lactococci, Lactobacilli, etc. which contain their own A domain as a C-terminal fusion. This family is closely related to the trehalose transporting PTS IIBC enzymes and the B and C domains of each are described by subfamily-domain level TIGRFAMs models (TIGR00826 and TIGR00852, respectively).

PTS sucrose transporter subunit IIBC is the fused IIB and IIC components of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) that catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sucrose substrate concomitant with its translocation across the cell membrane

The PTS Glucose-Glucoside (Glc) Family (TC 4.A.1) Bacterial PTS transporters transport and concomitantly phosphorylate their sugar substrates, and typically consist of multiple subunits or protein domains. The Glc family includes permeases specific for glucose, N-acetylglucosamine and a large variety of a- and b-glucosides. However, not all b-glucoside PTS permeases are in this class, as the cellobiose (Cel) b-glucoside PTS permease is in the Lac family (TC #4.A.3). These permeases show limited sequence similarity with members of the Fru family (TC #4.A.2). Several of the E. coli PTS permeases in the Glc family lack their own IIA domains and instead use the glucose IIA protein (IIAglc or Crr). Most of these permeases have the B and C domains linked together in a single polypeptide chain, and a cysteyl residue in the IIB domain is phosphorylated by direct phosphoryl transfer from IIAglc(his~P). Those permeases which lack a IIA domain include the maltose (Mal), arbutin-salicin-cellobiose (ASC), trehalose (Tre), putative glucoside (Glv) and sucrose (Scr) permeases of E. coli . Most, but not all Scr permeases of other bacteria also lack a IIA domain. This Hmm is specific for the IIC domain of the Glc family PTS transporters.
