Summary: Periplasmic binding protein
Pfam includes annotations and additional family information from a range of different sources. These sources can be accessed via the tabs below.
The Pfam group coordinates the annotation of Pfam families in Wikipedia, but we have not yet assigned a Wikipedia article to this family. If you think that a particular Wikipedia article provides good annotation, please let us know.
This tab holds the annotation information that is stored in the Pfam database. As we move to using Wikipedia as our main source of annotation, the contents of this tab will be gradually replaced by the Wikipedia tab.

InterPro entry IPR002491
ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters are a ubiquitous family of importer and exporter proteins that consist of two alpha-helical transmembrane (TM) domains, which form a translocation pathway, and two cytoplasmic ABC domains, which power the transport reaction through binding and hydrolysis of ATP. In addition most bacterial importers employs a periplasmic substrate-binding protein (PBP) that delivers the ligand to the extracellular gate of the TM domains. These proteins bind their substrates selectively and with high affinity, which is thought to ensure the specificity of the transport reaction. Binding proteins in Gram-negative bacteria are present within the periplasm, whereas those in Gram-positive bacteria are tethered to the cell membrane via the acylation of a cysteine residue that is an integral component of a lipoprotein signal sequence. The cobalamin (vitamin B12) and the iron transport systems share many common attributes and probably evolved from the same origin [PUBMED:12475936, PUBMED:14514690, PUBMED:2651410].
The structure of the periplasmic-binding domain is composed of two subdomains, each consisting of a central beta-sheet and surrounding alpha-helices, linked by a rigid alpha-helix. The substrate binding site is located in a cleft between the two alpha/beta subdomains [PUBMED:12468528].
Some protein known to contain an iron siderophore/cobalamin periplasmic- binding domain are listed below:
- Escherichia coli vitamin B12 transport protein btuF. It is the periplasmic binding protein for the vitamin B12 transporter btuCD.
- Escherichia coli ferrichrome-binding periplasmic protein (fhuD). It binds iron(III)-hydroxamates.
- Staphylococcus aureus ferric hydroxamate receptor 2 (fhuD2).
- Escherichia coli ferrienterobactin-binding periplasmic protein fepB. It binds ferrienterobactin; part of the binding-protein-dependent transport system for uptake of ferrienterobactin.
- Vibrio cholerae periplasmic binding protein (viuP).
- Escherichia coli iron(III) dicitrate-binding periplasmic protein (fecB). It binds citrate-dependent iron(III); part of the binding-protein-dependent transport system for uptake of citrate-dependent iron(III).
- Erwinia chrysanthemi achromobactin-binding periplasmic protein (cbrA). It binds citrate-or chloride-dependent iron(III); part of the binding-protein-dependent transport system cbrABCD for uptake of the siderophore achromobactin.
- Yersinia pestis hemin-binding periplasmic protein (hmuT).

Pfam Clan
This family is a member of clan Chelatase (CL0043), which has the following description:
Metallated tetrapyrroles are used as prosthetic groups in proteins involved in biologically important processes such as photosynthesis, oxygen transport, drug metabolism and nitric oxide synthesis. In living organisms, metallation is catalysed by a group of enzymes called chelatases. This clan contains ferrochelatase (heme) and cobalt chelatase [1].
The clan contains the following 7 members:

We store a range of different sequence alignments for families. As well as the seed alignment from which the family is built, we provide the full alignment, generated by searching the sequence database (reference proteomes) using the family HMM. We also generate alignments using four representative proteomes (RP) sets, the UniProtKB sequence database, the NCBI sequence database, and our metagenomics sequence database. More...

We make a range of alignments for each Pfam-A family. You can see a description of each above. You can view these alignments in various ways but please note that some types of alignment are never generated while others may not be available for all families, most commonly because the alignments are too large to handle.

HMM logos is one way of visualising profile HMMs. Logos provide a quick overview of the properties of an HMM in a graphical form. You can see a more detailed description of HMM logos and find out how you can interpret them here. More...
Trees
This page displays the phylogenetic tree for this family's seed alignment. We use FastTree to calculate neighbour join trees with a local bootstrap based on 100 resamples (shown next to the tree nodes). FastTree calculates approximately-maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees from our seed alignment.
Note: You can also download the data file for the tree.

Structures
For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the Peripla_BP_2 domain has been found. There are 205 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein sequence.
