2.A.52.1.7









NicT is a heavy metal transporter of 372 aas with 8 TMSs in a 4 + 4 TMS arrangement suggesting of a 4 TMS repeat unit.  Actually it looks like a 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 arrangement.  It is a NiCoT family transporter of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Rv2856/NicT).  It also behaves as a drug efflux pump that facilitates cross-resistance to antibiotics (Adhikary et al. 2022).

Bacteria
Actinomycetota
NicT of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
