Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome bd is a respiratory quinol oxidase in Escherichia coli. Besides the structural genes (cydA and cydB) encoding the oxidase complex, the cydD and cydC genes, encoding an ABC-type transporter, are required for assembly of this oxidase. Recently, cysteine has been identified as a substrate (allocrite) that is transported from the cytoplasm by CydDC, but the mechanism of cysteine export to the periplasm and...
