| UniProt functional annotation for Q7LYW7 | |||
| UniProt code: Q7LYW7. |
| Organism: | Thermococcus litoralis (strain ATCC 51850 / DSM 5473 / JCM 8560 / NS-C). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermococci; Thermococcales; Thermococcaceae; Thermococcus. | |
| Function: | Part of the ABC transporter complex MalEFGK involved in trehalose/maltose import. Binds maltose and trehalose. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11453995, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16532450, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8759837, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9457875}. | |
| Subunit: | The complex is composed of two ATP-binding proteins (MalK), two transmembrane proteins (MalG and MalF) and a solute-binding protein (MalE). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11453995}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000305|PubMed:11453995, ECO:0000305|PubMed:9457875}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000305|PubMed:11453995, ECO:0000305|PubMed:9457875}. | |
| Ptm: | Glycosylated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11453995}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | The protein assumes different conformations with different physical properties depending whether maltose or trehalose is bound to the protein. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:16532450}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the bacterial solute-binding protein 1 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
