Protein Family Models

HlyD_D23 is the combined domains 2 and 3 of the membrane-fusion proteins CusB and HlyD, which forms a barrel-sandwich. CusB and HlyD proteins are membrane fusion proteins of the CusCFBA copper efflux system in E.coli and related bacteria. The whole molecule hinges between D2 and D3. Efflux systems of this resistance-nodulation-division group - RND - have been developed to excrete poisonous metal ions, and in E.coli the only one that deals with silver and copper is the CusA transporter. The transporter CusA works in conjunction with a periplasmic component that is a membrane fusion protein, eg CusB, and an outer-membrane channel component CusC in a CusABC complex driven by import of protons.

Type I secretion is an ABC transport process that exports proteins, without cleavage of any signal sequence, from the cytosol to extracellular medium across both inner and outer membranes. The secretion signal is found in the C-terminus of the transported protein. This HMM represents the adaptor protein between the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) protein of the inner membrane and the outer membrane protein, and is called the membrane fusion protein. This model selects a subfamily closely related to HlyD; it is defined narrowly and excludes, for example, colicin V secretion protein CvaA and multidrug efflux proteins.
