| UniProt functional annotation for O34966 | |||
| UniProt code: O34966. |
| Organism: | Bacillus subtilis (strain 168). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus. | |
| Function: | Part of the high-affinity ABC transporter complex ZnuABC involved in zinc import (Probable). ZnuABC-mediated zinc transport is required for comF expression and competence development. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21813502, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9811636, ECO:0000305}. | |
| Subunit: | The complex is composed of two ATP-binding proteins (ZnuC), two transmembrane proteins (ZnuB) and a solute-binding protein (ZnuA). {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000305|PubMed:14730579}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000305|PubMed:14730579}. | |
| Induction: | Repressed by zinc via the metallo-regulatory protein Zur. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12426338, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9811636}. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Cells lacking this gene grow slowly in zinc- deficient medium; this effect is suppressed upon addition of exogenous Zn(2+). Growth is slower yet in a double knockout with YciC. Disruption results in low transformability. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21813502, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9811636}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the bacterial solute-binding protein 9 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
