| description | The Mg2+ transporter MgtE is an homodimeric transporter consisting of two cytosolic domains, the N-terminal domain and the CBS domain, and a C-terminal transmembrane domain with five membrane-spanning helices per monomer [].This domain is found at the N terminus of eubacterial magnesium transporters of the MgtE family . This domain is an intracellular domain that has an α-helical structure. The crystal structure of the MgtE transporter []shows two of 5 magnesium ions are in the interface between the N domain and the CBS domains. In the absence of magnesium there is a large shift between the N and CBS domains. |
