Primary Identifier | IPR036618 | Type | Homologous_superfamily |
Short Name | PtsI_HPr-bd_sf |
description | This superfamily describes a domain that can be found in the N terminus of PtsI, a component of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS). The PTS system is found throughout the bacterial kingdom, and is responsible for the coupled phosphorylation and translocation of numerous sugars across the cytoplasmic membrane []. PtsI transfers the phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to the phosphoryl carrier protein (HPr) which in turn phosphorylates a group of membrane-associated proteins, known as enzyme II [, ].This region contains a SAM domain-like fold. |
