Protein
C4-dicarboxylate transport protein
Organism
Rhizobium meliloti (strain 1021)
Function
Responsible for the transport of dicarboxylates such as succinate, fumarate, and malate from the periplasm across the inner membrane. This transport system plays an important role in the energy supply of rhizobium-legume symbionts.
