Abstract excerpt
CcoA belongs to the widely distributed bacterial copper (Cu) importer subfamily CalT (CcoA-like Transporters) of the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) and provides cytoplasmic Cu needed for cbb3-type cytochrome c oxidase (cbb3-Cox) biogenesis. Earlier studies have supported a 12-transmembrane helix (TMH) topology of CcoA with the well-conserved Met233xxxMet237 and His261xxxMet265 motifs in its TMH7 and TMH8,...
