EC 7.6.2.7 Details
EC number
7.6.2.7
Accepted name
ABC-type taurine transporter
Reaction
ATP + H2O + taurine-[taurine-binding protein][side 1] = ADP + phosphate + taurine[side 2] + [taurine-binding protein][side 1]
Other name(s)
tauABC (gene names), taurine ABC transporter, taurine-transporting ATPase
Systematic name
ATP phosphohydrolase (ABC-type, taurine-importing)
Comment
An ATP-binding cassette (ABC) type transporter, characterized by the presence of two similar ATP-binding domains/proteins and two integral membrane domains/proteins. Does not undergo phosphorylation during the transport process. A bacterial enzyme that interacts with an extracytoplasmic substrate binding protein and mediates the high affinity uptake of taurine. In Escherichia coli the enzyme imports a range of sulfonates (including taurine) that can be used as a source of sulfur.
