Structure and mechanotransmission mechanism of the MacB ABC transporter superfamily.
MacB is an ABC transporter that collaborates with the MacA adaptor protein and TolC exit duct to drive efflux of antibiotics and enterotoxin STII out of the bacterial cell. Here we present the structure of ATP-bound MacB and reveal precise molecular details of its mechanism. The MacB transmembrane domain lacks a central cavity through which substrates could be passed, but instead conveys confor...
متن کاملMsbA ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter of E. coli: structure and possible flippase mechanism.
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters utilize the energy present in cellular ATP to drive the translocation of structurally diverse set of solutes across the membrane barriers of eubacteria, archaebacteria and eukaryotes. In bacteria, these transporters are considered to be important virulence factors because they play role in nutrient uptake and in the secretion of toxins. The advances in st...
متن کاملThe E. coli BtuCD structure: a framework for ABC transporter architecture and mechanism.
The ABC transporters are ubiquitous membrane proteins that couple adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis to the translocation of diverse substrates across cell membranes. Clinically relevant examples are associated with cystic fibrosis and with multidrug resistance of pathogenic bacteria and cancer cells. Here, we report the crystal structure at 3.2 angstrom resolution of the Escherichia coli ...
متن کاملStructure and mechanism of ABC transporters
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are central to many physiological processes, including the uptake of nutrients, the non-classical secretion of signaling molecules and toxins, multidrug resistance and the development of human disease. As one might expect from this spectrum of translocation events, these ubiquitous, ATP-dependent pumps or channels are capable of transporting an enormous v...
متن کاملStructure and Function of the Bacterial Heterodimeric ABC Transporter CydDC
In Escherichia coli, the biogenesis of both cytochrome bd-type quinol oxidases and periplasmic cytochromes requires the ATP-binding cassette-type cysteine/GSH transporter, CydDC. Recombinant CydDC was purified as a heterodimer and found to be an active ATPase both in soluble form with detergent and when reconstituted into a lipid environment. Two-dimensional crystals of CydDC were analyzed by e...
