Trehalose monomycolate transport factor TtfA
InterPro entry
Short name | Treh_trans_TtfA |
Description
This family represents the trehalose monomycolate transport factor A (TtfA) which is required for the transport of trehalose monomycolate across the inner membrane, potentially by forming a complex with the atypical lipid transporter MmpL3. Trehalose monomycolate is a component of the mycobacterial envelope. The core domain of TtfA shows strong structural similarity to class I type III secretion system (T3SS) chaperones. It is also required for growth and cell elongation
