Quaternary structure and functional unit of energy coupling factor (ECF)-type transporters.
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters mediate transport of diverse substrates across membranes. We have determined the quaternary structure and functional unit of the recently discovered ECF-type (energy coupling factor) of ABC transporters, which is widespread among prokaryotes. ECF transporters are protein complexes consisting of a conserved energizing module (two peripheral ATPases and the...
متن کاملSubunit composition of an energy-coupling-factor-type biotin transporter analysed in living bacteria.
BioMNY, a bacterial high-affinity biotin transporter, is a member of the recently defined class of ECF (energy-coupling factor) transporters. These systems are composed of ABC (ATP-binding-cassette) ATPases (represented by BioM in the case of the biotin transporter), a universally conserved transmembrane protein (BioN) and a core transporter component (BioY), in unknown stoichiometry. The quate...
متن کاملStructure and mechanism of energy-coupling factor transporters.
Energy-coupling factor (ECF) transporters form a new family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and are widely used by prokaryotes to take up micronutrients from the environment. Instead of using the periplasmic solute-binding proteins (SBPs), ECF transporters use the membrane S proteins for substrate capture and translocation. In this review, we will focus on structural advances that ha...
متن کاملInteractions among the A and T Units of an ECF-Type Biotin Transporter Analyzed by Site-Specific Crosslinking
Energy-coupling factor (ECF) transporters are a huge group of micronutrient importers in prokaryotes. They are composed of a substrate-specific transmembrane protein (S component) and a module consisting of a moderately conserved transmembrane protein (T component) and two ABC ATPase domains (A components). Modules of A and T units may be dedicated to a specific S component or shared by many di...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of a Group I Energy Coupling Factor Vitamin Transporter S Component in Complex with Its Cognate Substrate
Energy coupling factor (ECF) transporters are responsible for the uptake of essential scarce nutrients in prokaryotes. This ATP-binding cassette transporter family comprises two subgroups that share a common architecture forming a tripartite membrane protein complex consisting of a translocation component and ATP hydrolyzing module and a substrate-capture (S) component. Here, we present the cry...
