Diversity in ABC transporters: Type I, II and III importers
ATP-binding cassette transporters are multi-subunit membrane pumps that transport substrates across membranes. While significant in the transport process, transporter architecture exhibits a range of diversity that we are only beginning to recognize. This divergence may provide insight into the mechanisms of substrate transport and homeostasis. Until recently, ABC importers have been classified...
متن کاملAbc Transporters in Mitochondria
Mitochondria are essential organelles of most eukaryotic cells including fungi, invertebrates, vertebrates and plants. They perform various processes such as oxidative phosphorylation, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, fatty acid oxidation, the biosynthesis of various amino acids, the generation of iron-sulfur (Fe/S) clusters and their insertion into apoproteins, as well as partial reactions of hem...
متن کاملStructure of ABC transporters.
ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters are primary active membrane proteins that translocate solutes (allocrites) across lipid bilayers. The prototypical ABC transporter consists of four domains: two cytoplasmic NBDs (nucleotide-binding domains) and two TMDs (transmembrane domains). The NBDs, whose primary sequence is highly conserved throughout the superfamily, bind and hydrolyse ATP to power...
متن کاملGout, genetics and ABC transporters
Gout is a chronic arthritic disease associated with high levels of urate in blood. Recent advances in research have permitted the identification of several new and common genetic factors underlying the disease. Among them, a polymorphism in the ABC transporter gene ATP-binding cassette transporter isoform G2 has been highlighted. ATP-binding cassette transporter isoform G2 was found to be invol...
متن کاملPeroxisomal ABC transporters.
The set of proteins found in the membranes of mammalian peroxisomes includes four half ABC transporters (ALDP, ALDR, PMP70, P70R) comprising a distinct subset of the superfamily of ABC transporters designated subfamily D. Each has an N-terminal hydrophobic transmembrane domain with multiple transmembrane segments (TMS) and a hydrophilic C-terminal half containing a nucleotide-binding domain (NB...
