periplasmic binding domain of ABC-type galactofuranose YtfQ-like transport systems
Periplasmic binding domain of ABC-type YtfQ-like transport systems. The YtfQ protein from Escherichia coli is up-regulated under glucose-limited conditions and shares homology with a family of pentose/hexose sugar-binding proteins of the type 1 periplasmic binding protein superfamily. Members of this group are predicted to be involved in the transport of sugar-containing molecules across cellular and organellar membranes; however their ligand specificity is not determined experimentally.
