PTS Glucitol Family

The PTS Glucitol (Gut) Family (TC# 4.A.4)consists only of glucitol-specific porters, but these occur both in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. It is part of the PTS-GFL superfamily.

Structure

IIGut of Escherichia coli consists of three proteins, a IIA protein, a putative 4 TMS IIC2 protein and a putative 4 TMS IIC1 protein.[1] The N- and C-termini as well as the IIB domain may thereby be localized to the cell cytoplasm, but the topology has not been established experimentally. IIAGut is believed to be phosphorylated on a histidyl residue, while IIBGut is probably phosphorylated on a cysteyl residue. However, these possibilities have not been demonstrated experimentally.

gollark: Why bother with dedicated hardware at all?
gollark: I suppose you might also want square waves, but those are about as easy.
gollark: And you can easily generate those using some basic python.
gollark: Well, music is *basically* just a bunch of summed sine waves, right?
gollark: Allegedly.
