PTS Mannose-Fructose-Sorbose Family
 | This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. (September 2016) |
The PTS Mannose-Fructose-Sorbose (Man) Family (TC# 4.A.6) is a group of multicomponent PTS systems that are involved in sugar uptake in bacteria. This transport process is dependent on several cytoplasmic phosphoryl transfer proteins - Enzyme I (I), HPr, Enzyme IIA (IIA), and Enzyme IIB (IIB) as well as the integral membrane sugar permease complex (IICD). It is not part of the PTS-AG or PTS-GFL superfamilies.
Distinguishing characteristics from other PTS porters[edit]
The Man Family is unique in several respects among other PTS porter families:
- It is the only PTS family in which members possess a IID protein;
- It is the only PTS family in which the IIB constituent is phosphorylated on a histidyl rather than a cysteyl residue;[1]
- Its porter members usually exhibit broad specificity for a range of sugars, rather than being specific for just one or a few sugars.
The mannose porter of Escherichia coli, for example, can transport and phosphorylate glucose, mannose, fructose, glucosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, and N-acteylmannosamine.[2]
Structure[edit]
The structure of the E. coli IIAMan domain has been shown to exhibit an α/β doubly wound superfold.[3] The IIB domain also exhibits an α/β doubly wound superfold, but it is very dissimilar from that of the IIA domain.[4] Instead, it has the same topology as phosphoglyceromutase (PGM). Since both proteins (IIBMan and PGM) catalyze phosphoryl transfer with a phosphohistidine intermediate, both proteins show a similar distribution of active site residues, and both exhibit similar structures, they are probably homologous.
IICMan of E. coli has been reported to have six transmembrane α-helical segments, while IIDMan was reported to have only one.[5][6] However, hydropathy plots show multiple peaks of hydropathy, rendering the experimental result, suggesting 1 TMS, questionable.[7] These two proteins together are required for transport, although IICMan is presumed to comprise all or most of the sugar transporting channel.
Transport reaction[edit]
The generalized reaction catalyzed by members of the Man Family is:
- Sugar (out) + PEP (in) → Sugar-P (in) + pyruvate (in)
