Streptococcal histidine triad protein All members of this family are proteins from Streptococcal species. The proteins are characterised by having a HxxHxH motif that usually occurs multiple times throughout the protein. The histidine triad is predicted to bind metal cations, in particular Zn2+. The zinc is transferred, on the surface of the streptococcus from the Strep_his_triad protein, a zinc scavenger, to apo-ADCAII, a cell-surface lipoprotein transporter that leads to Zn2+ uptake into the bacterium.
