Protein Family Models

The TOBE domain [1] (Transport-associated OB) always occurs as a dimer as the C-terminal strand of each domain is supplied by the partner. Probably involved in the recognition of small ligands such as molybdenum (eg Swiss:P46930) and sulphate (Swiss:P16676). Found in ABC transporters immediately after the ATPase domain. In this family a strong RPE motif is found at the presumed N-terminus of the domain. [1]. 10829230. Protein fold recognition using sequence profiles and its application in structural genomics.

ABC transporters for a large family of proteins responsible for translocation of a variety of compounds across biological membranes. ABC transporters are the largest family of proteins in many completely sequenced bacteria. ABC transporters are composed of two copies of this domain and two copies of a transmembrane domain Pfam:PF00664. These four domains may belong to a single polypeptide as in Swiss:P13569, or belong in different polypeptide chains. [1]. 1864505.

This model describes spermidine/putrescine ABC transporter, ATP binding subunit in bacteria and its equivalents in archaea. This transport system belong to the larger ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily. The characteristic feature of these transporter is the obligatory coupling of ATP hydrolysis to substrate translocation. The minimal configuration of bacterial ABC transport system: an ATPase or ATP binding subunit; An integral membrane protein; a hydrophilic polypetpide, which likely functions as substrate binding protein. Polyamines like spermidine and putrescine play vital role in cell proliferation, differentiation, and ion homeostasis. The concentration of polyamines within the cell are regulated by biosynthesis, degradation and transport (uptake and efflux included).
