Why Is the GMN Motif Conserved in the CorA/Mrs2/Alr1 Superfamily of Magnesium Transport Proteins?
19 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
Members of the CorA/Mrs2/Alr1 superfamily of transport proteins mediate magnesium uptake in all kingdoms of life. Family members have a low degree of sequence conservation but are characterized by a conserved extracellular loop. While the degree of sequence conservation in the loop deviates to some extent between family members, the GMN family signature motif is always present. Structural and functional data...
