| Primary Identifier | IPR044132 | Type | Domain |
| Short Name | PBP2_GlnH |
| description | GlnH belongs to the type 2 periplasmic-binding fold protein (PBP2) superfamily, whose members are involved in chemotaxis and uptake of nutrients and other small molecules from the extracellular space as a primary receptor []. PBP2 typically comprises of two globular subdomains connected by a flexible hinge and bind their ligand in the cleft between these domains in a manner resembling a Venus flytrap. After binding their specific ligand with high affinity, they can interact with a cognate membrane transport complex comprised of two integral membrane domains and two receptor cytoplasmically-located ATPase domains. This interaction triggersthe ligand translocation across the cytoplasmic membrane energized by ATP hydrolysis [, ]. |
