Protein Family Models

The alignments cover the most conserved region of the proteins, which is thought to be located in a cytoplasmic loop between two transmembrane domains. The members of this family have a variable number of transmembrane helices. (from Pfam)

The typical operon for the high affinity inorganic phosphate ABC transporter encodes an ATP-binding protein, a phosphate-binding protein, and two permease proteins. This family consists of one of the two permease proteins, PstC, which is homologous to PstA (TIGR00974). In the model bacterium Escherichia coli, this transport system is induced when the concentration of extrallular inorganic phosphate is low. A constitutive, lower affinity transporter operates otherwise.

phosphate ABC transporter permease subunit PstC is the transmembrane subunit (TM) found in periplasmic binding protein (PBP)-dependent ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter for phosphate; ABC transporters consist of a PBP, two TMs, and two cytoplasmic ABC ATPase subunits, and are mainly involved in importing solutes from the environment; the captured solute is delivered to a gated translocation pathway formed by the two TMs
