Figure 6From: Evolution of mal ABC transporter operons in the Thermococcales and ThermotogalesTransmembrane helices of Tt. maritima MalF1 and Tt. petrophila MalF3 homologs as predicted by TMpred. Plots derived from TMpred [27] are shown. In selected proteins the locations of the proposed hydrophilic periplasmic domains and the EEA motifs (circled) are shown. The MalF Ec is thought to interact with the MalG Ec motif to promote MalK association with the permease complex [42].Back to article page
