| description | Bacterial PTS transporters transport and concomitantly phosphorylate their sugar substrates, and typically consist of multiple subunits or protein domains. The Man family is unique in several respects among PTS permease families.It is the only PTS family in which members possess a IID protein.It is the only PTS family in which the IIB constituent is phosphorylated on a histidyl rather than a cysteyl residue.Its permease members exhibit broad specificity for a range of sugars, rather than being specific for just one or a few sugars.The Gut family consists only of glucitol-specific permeases, but these occur both in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Escherichia coli consists of IIA protein, a IIC protein and a IIBC protein.This entry represents the N-terminal conserved region of the IIBC component. |
