| Primary Identifier | IPR003055 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | Channel_Tsx |
| description | The tsx gene of Escherichia coli encodes an outer membrane protein, Tsx,which constitutes the receptor for colicin K and Bacteriophage T6, and functions as a substrate-specific channel for nucleosides and deoxy-nucleosides []. The protein contains 294 amino acids, the first 22 of which are characteristic of a bacterial signal sequence peptide. The putative mature form of Tsx contains 272 residues with a calculated Mr of31418. The Tsx sequence shows an even distribution of charged residuesand lacks extensive hydrophobic stretches []. Tsx shows no significant similarities to the channel-forming proteins OmpC, OmpF, PhoE and LamB from the E. coli outer membrane. |
