UniProt code: P42061.

Organism: Bacillus subtilis (strain 168).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus.
 
Function: This protein is a component of an oligopeptide permease, a binding protein-dependent transport system. This APP system can completely substitute for the OPP system in both sporulation and genetic competence. AppA can bind and transport tetra- and pentapeptides but not tripeptides.
 
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000305}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity: Belongs to the bacterial solute-binding protein 5 family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AL009126; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
