Protein Family Models

The bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate: sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) is a multi-protein system involved in the regulation of a variety of metabolic and transcriptional processes. The lactose/cellobiose-specific family are one of four structurally and functionally distinct group IIB PTS system cytoplasmic enzymes. The fold of IIB cellobiose shows similar structure to mammalian tyrosine phosphatases. This family also contains the fructose specific IIB subunit. [1]. 9041631.

This model represents the IIC component, or IIC region of a IIABC or IIBC polypeptide of a phosphotransferase system for carbohydrate transport. Members of this family belong to the fructose-specific subfamily of the broader family (PF02378) of PTS IIC proteins. Members should be found as part of the same chain or in the same operon as fructose family IIA (TIGR00848) and IIB (TIGR00829) protein regions. A number of bacterial species have members in two different branches of this subfamily, suggesting some diversity in substrate specificity of its members.

PTS fructose transporter subunit IIABC is a component of the fructose-specific phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (sugar PTS), a major carbohydrate active transport system, which catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitantly with their translocation across the cell membrane

Bacterial PTS transporters transport and concomitantly phosphorylate their sugar substrates, and typically consist of multiple subunits or protein domains. The Fru family is a large and complex family which includes several sequenced fructose and mannitol-specific permeases as well as several PTS components of unknown specificities. The fructose components of this family phosphorylate fructose on the 1-position. The Fru family PTS systems typically have 3 domains, IIA, IIB and IIC, which may be found as 1 or more proteins. The fructose and mannitol transporters form separate phylogenetic clusters in this family. This family is specific for the IIB domain of the fructose PTS transporters.

4.A.2 The PTS Fructose-Mannitol (Fru) Family Bacterial PTS transporters transport and concomitantly phosphorylate their sugar substrates, and typically consist of multiple subunits or protein domains. The Fru family is a large and complex family which includes several sequenced fructose and mannitol-specific permeases as well as several putative PTS permeases of unknown specificities. The fructose permeases of this family phosphorylate fructose on the 1-position. Those of family 4.6 phosphorylate fructose on the 6-position. The Fru family PTS systems typically have 3 domains, IIA, IIB and IIC, which may be found as 1 or more proteins. The fructose and mannitol transporters form separate phylogenetic clusters in this family. This Hmm is specific for the IIA domain of the fructose PTS transporters. Also similar to the Enzyme IIA Fru subunits of the PTS, but included in TIGR01419 rather than this model, is enzyme IIA Ntr (nitrogen), also called PtsN, found in E. coli and other organisms, which may play a solely regulatory role.
