Protein Family Models

These probable extra-cytoplasmic solute receptors are strongly overrepresented in several beta-proteobacteria [1]. This family, formerly known as Bug - Bordetella uptake gene (bug) product - is a family of bacterial tripartite tricarboxylate receptors of the extracytoplasmic solute binding receptor-dependent transporter group of families, distinct from the ABC and TRAP-T families [3]. The TctABC system has been characterised in S. typhimurium [2], and TctC is the extracytoplasmic tricarboxylate-binding receptor which binds the transporters TctA and TctB, two integral membrane proteins. Complete three-component systems are found only in bacteria [2]. [1]. 12562821. Overrepresentation of a gene family encoding extracytoplasmic. solute receptors in Bordetella..
