NCIt related terms : ABC transporters;
Alternative definition : KEGG: The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters form one of the largest known protein
families and are widespread in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. They couple ATP
hydrolysis to active transport of a wide variety of substrates such as ions, sugars,
lipids, sterols, peptides, proteins, and drugs. The structure of a prokaryotic ABC
transporter usually consists of three components; typically two integral membrane
proteins each having six transmembrane segments, two peripheral proteins that bind
and hydrolyze ATP, and a periplasmic (or lipoprotein) substrate-binding protein. Many
of the genes for the three components form operons as in fact observed in many bacterial
and archaeal genomes. On the other hand, in a typical eukaryotic ABC transporter,
the membrane spanning protein and the ATP-binding protein are fused, forming a multi-domain
protein with the membrane-spanning domain (MSD) and the nucleotide-binding domain
(NBD).;
