DctP

• PFAM accession number: PF03480
• Interpro abstract (IPR018389):

  Substrate-binding proteins (SBPs) are extracytoplasmic proteins involved in substrate recognition for several different bacterial transporters. This entry represents the DctP family of the substrate-binding proteins. They are part of the DctP-TRAP (tripartite ATP-independent periplasmic) transporter. Proteins in this family include DctP from R. capsulatus, SiaP from Haemophilus influenzae [ (PUBMED:20584082) ], DctB from Bacillus subtilis [ (PUBMED:10708364) ] and TeaA from Halomonas elongata [ (PUBMED:18702523) ].

  The tripartite ATP-independent periplasmic (TRAP) transporters are substrate-binding protein (SBP)-dependent secondary transporters found in prokaryotes. They consist of a substrate-binding protein (SBP) of the DctP or TAXI families and two integral membrane proteins that form the DctQ and DctM protein families [ (PUBMED:20584082) ].

• GO process: transmembrane transport (GO:0055085)
