Protein Family Models

The alignments cover the most conserved region of the proteins, which is thought to be located in a cytoplasmic loop between two transmembrane domains. The members of this family have a variable number of transmembrane helices. (from Pfam)

PhnE/PtxC family ABC transporter permease is the transmembrane subunit found in a periplasmic binding protein (PBP)-dependent ABC transport system, which may be involved in the transport of phosphonate, phosphate, or phosphite ions

Phosphonates are a class of compound analogous to organic phosphates, but in which the C-O-P linkage is replaced by a direct, stable C-P bond. Some bacteria can utilize phosphonates as a source of phosphorus. This family consists of permease proteins of known or predicted phosphonate ABC transporters. Often this protein is found as a duplicated pair, occasionally as a fused pair. Certain "second" copies score in between the trusted and noise cutoff and should be considered true hits (by context).
