| Primary Identifier | IPR017777 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | ABC_urea-bd_UrtA |
| description | This entry consists of ABC transporter substrate-binding proteins associated with urea transport and metabolism. This family includes UrtA from Cyanobacteria, which is encoded in an operon typically found adjacent to urease genes. It was shown in that disruption leads to the loss of high-affinity urea transport activity []. It also includes the periplasmic component (FmdD) of an active transport system for short-chain amides and urea (FmdDEF), found in Methylophilus methylotrophus []. These proteins tend to have the twin-arginine signal for Sec-independent transport across the plasma membrane. |
