Abstract excerpt
The ABC transporter (ATP-binding-cassette transporter) OpuA is one of five membrane transport systems in Bacillus subtilis that mediate osmoprotection by importing compatible solutes. Just like all bacterial and archaeal ABC transporters that catalyse the import of substrates, OpuA (where Opu is osmoprotectant uptake) is composed of an ATPase subunit (OpuAA), a transmembrane subunit (OpuAB) and an extracellular...
