Journal ArticleDOI

Two evolutionarily closely related ABC transporters mediate the uptake of choline for synthesis of the osmoprotectant glycine betaine in Bacillus subtilis.

Rainer M. Kappes, +6 more
- 01 Apr 1999 - 
TL;DR: Despite the close relatedness of OpuB and OpuC, these systems exhibit a striking difference in substrate specificity for osmoprotectants that would not have been predicted readily for such closely related ABC transporters.
Journal ArticleDOI

The BCCT family of carriers: from physiology to crystal structure

Christine Ziegler, +2 more
- 01 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: Molecular determinants governing the high‐affinity binding of the compatible solutes by BetP and CaiT, the coupling in symporters and antiporters, and the osmoregulatory properties are discussed in detail for Bet P and various BCCT carriers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of potassium homeostasis is an essential function of the second messenger cyclic di-AMP in Bacillus subtilis

Jan Gundlach, +12 more
- 18 Apr 2017 - 
TL;DR: Reports indicated that the control of potassium homeostasis is an essential function of c-di-AMP, and renamed the gene and protein KimA (K+ importer A), a member of an evolutionarily conserved family of potassium transporters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Osmotically Induced Synthesis of the Compatible Solute Hydroxyectoine Is Mediated by an Evolutionarily Conserved Ectoine Hydroxylase

Jan Bursy, +3 more
- 26 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that the EctD-related ectoine hydroxylases are members of a new subfamily within the non-heme-containing, iron(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase superfamily (EC 1.14).
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of the Extremolytes Ectoine and Hydroxyectoine as Stress Protectants and Nutrients: Genetics, Phylogenomics, Biochemistry, and Structural Analysis.

Laura Czech, +7 more
- 22 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: The biochemistry, phylogenomics, and genetic regulation for the alternative use of ectoines as nutrients are addressed, and an extensive phylogenomic analysis of the ectoine/hydroxyectoine biosynthetic genes is presented.
