Protein
Oligopeptide transport system permease protein AppC
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
This protein is a component of an oligopeptide permease, a binding protein-dependent transport system. This APP system can completely substitute for the OPP system in both sporulation and genetic competence, though, unlike OPP, is incapable of transporting tripeptides. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the binding-protein-dependent transport system permease family. OppBC subfamily.
