Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
The bacterial solute-binding protein 9 family is involved in the import of various metals, including zinc, manganese, iron, and potentially others, via ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transport systems. Members of this family bind their respective metals with high affinity and specificity, and deliver them to membrane permeases for translocation into the cytoplasm. Some proteins within the family also function as adhesins, contributing to adherence to the extracellular matrix and playing a role in pathogenesis and infection. The family includes proteins with additional domains that facilitate metal binding and acquisition, as well as proteins that may participate in protein-protein interactions with other metal-binding proteins.
