Protein
Intermembrane phospholipid transport system binding protein MlaD
Organism
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Function
Part of the ABC transporter complex MlaFEDB, which is involved in a phospholipid transport pathway that maintains lipid asymmetry in the outer membrane by retrograde trafficking of phospholipids from the outer membrane to the inner membrane (PubMed:19383799, PubMed:27529189). MlaD functions in substrate binding with strong affinity for phospholipids and modulates ATP hydrolytic activity of the complex (PubMed:27529189).
Similarity
Belongs to the MlaD family.
