| description | EcfA1 is an ATP-binding (A) component of a common energy-coupling factor (ECF) transport systems []. It shares homology with the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) protein [].ECF transporters usually contain two ATPase subunits (or a double-length fusion protein), a T component, and a substrate capture (S) component that is highly variable, and may be interchangeable in genomes with only one T component.ECF transporters can be classified into two groups: group I includes transporters that have a dedicated AT module encoded in the same gene cluster as an S component, while group II employs a universal energy-coupling module (EcfAA'T) that is encoded by a separate gene cassette and shared by many different unlinked S components. Group II is ubiquitous in the phyla Firmicutes and Thermotogales and also occurs in some members of the Archaea []. |
