Protein Family Models

This family includes bacterial transmembrane proteins with a putative sugar-specific permease function, including and analogous to the IIC component of the PTS system. It has been suggested that this permease may form part of an L-ascorbate utilisation pathway, with proposed specificity for 3-keto-L-gulonate (formed by hydrolysis of L-ascorbate)[1]. This family includes the IIC component of the galactitol specific GAT family PTS system. [1]. 11741871.
