Structure, Function, and Evolution of Bacterial ATP-Binding Cassette Systems

Abstract excerpt

SUMMARY: ATP-binding cassette (ABC) systems are universally distributed among living organisms and function in many different aspects of bacterial physiology. ABC transporters are best known for their role in the import of essential nutrients and the export of toxic molecules, but they can also mediate the transport of many other physiological substrates. In a classical transport reaction, two highly conserved...
