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 sugar-specific permease of the PTS consists of three domains (IIA, IIB and IIC). The IIC domain catalyses the transfer of a phosphoryl group from IIB to the sugar substrate. [1]. 9689210.

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 IIC forms the translocation channel and contains the specific substrate-binding site of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) that catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitant with their translocation across the cell membrane
