2.A.86.1.4
Autoinducer-2 (AI-2; a furanosyl borate diester) exporter, TqsA (YdgG).  It plays a role in biofilm formation (Nobre et al. 2009). Cryo-EM structures of two pentameric autoinducer-2 exporter from E. coli (TqsA (TC# 2.A.86.1.4) and YdiK (TC# 2.A.86.2.1) revealed the probable transport mechanism (Khera et al. 2022). Each of the 5 subunits is believed to be a functional unit, and an elevator-type mechanism has been suggested (Khera et al. 2022).
