4.A.7.1.1









The L-ascorbate transporting and phosphorylating group translocator, SgaTBA or UlaCBA (SgaT = UlaA = YjfS; SgaB = UlaB = YjfT; SgaA = UlaC = PtxA = YjfU) (Hvorup et al., 2003; Zhang et al., 2003). Two conformations of the 3-d structure have been determined at 1.65 and 2.35 Å resolution, respectively (Luo et al., 2015). UlaA (SgaT) forms a homodimer with a novel fold. Each UlaA protomer consists of 11 TMSs arranged into a 'V-motif' domain and a 'core' domain. The V motifs form the interface between the two protomers, and the core-domain residues coordinate vitamin C. Alternating access of the substrate to the two sides of the cell membrane may be achieved through rigid-body rotation of the core relative to the V motif (Luo et al., 2015; Zhang et al., 2003). This structure does not resemble the ChbC structure (TC# 4.A.3.2.8).

The PTS ascorbate transporter subunits IIBC (596 aas and 11 TMSs) and IIA (155 aas).The 3-d structure has been determined at high resolution of the inward open configuration, showing that ascorbate translocation can be achieved by a rigid-body movement of the substrate-binding core domain relative to the V motif domain, which brings along the transmembrane helices TM2 and TM7 of the V motif domain to undergo a winding at the pivotal positions (Luo et al. 2018). This completes the picture of the transport cycle of the ascorbate superfamily of membrane-spanning EIIC components of the PTS.
