ATP-binding cassette domain of the thiamine transport system
Part of the binding-protein-dependent transport system tbpA-thiPQ for thiamine and TPP. Probably responsible for the translocation of thiamine across the membrane. ABC transporters are a large family of proteins involved in the transport of a wide variety of different compounds, like sugars, ions, peptides, and more complex organic molecules. The nucleotide binding domain shows the highest similarity between all members of the family. ABC transporters are a subset of nucleotide hydrolases that contain a signature motif, Q-loop, and H-loop/switch region, in addition to, the Walker A motif/P-loop and Walker B motif commonly found in a number of ATP- and GTP-binding and hydrolyzing proteins.
