Protein Family Models

This domain often occurs confers as the leader peptidase domain of transporter subunits involved in cleaving peptides or proteins, such as bacteriocins with a double-glycine type leader peptide, during export.

This family represents a unit of six transmembrane helices. Many members of the ABC transporter family (Pfam:PF00005) have two such regions. (from Pfam)

ABC transporters for a large family of proteins responsible for translocation of a variety of compounds across biological membranes. ABC transporters are the largest family of proteins in many completely sequenced bacteria. ABC transporters are composed of two copies of this domain and two copies of a transmembrane domain Pfam:PF00664. These four domains may belong to a single polypeptide as in Swiss:P13569, or belong in different polypeptide chains. [1]. 1864505.

This protein describes a multidomain ABC transporter subunit that is one of three protein families associated with some regularity with a distinctive family of putative bacteriocins. It includes a bacteriocin-processing peptidase domain at the N-terminus. Model TIGR03793 describes a conserved propeptide region for this bacteriocin family, unusual because it shows obvious homology a region of the enzyme nitrile hydratase up to the classic Gly-Gly cleavage motif. This family is therefore predicted to be a subunit of a bacteriocin processing and export system characteristic to this system that we designate NHLM, Nitrile Hydratase Leader Microcin.
