Abstract excerpt
PrnB, the l-proline transporter of Aspergillus nidulans, belongs to the Amino acid Polyamine Organocation (APC) transporter family conserved in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In silico analysis and limited biochemical evidence suggest that APC transporters comprise 12 transmembrane segments (TMS) connected with relatively short hydrophilic loops (L). However, very little is known on the structure-function...
