EC 7.6.2.16

Accepted name: ABC-type putrescine transporter

Reaction: ATP + H2O + putrescine-[putrescine-binding protein][side 1] = ADP + phosphate + putrescine[side 2] + [putrescine-binding protein][side 1]

Other name(s): putrescine transporting ATPase; putrescine ABC transporter; potFGHI (gene names)

Systematic name: ATP phosphohydrolase (ABC-type, putrescine-importing)

Comments: ATP-binding cassette (ABC) type transporter, characterized by the presence of two similar ATP-binding domains/proteins and two integral membrane domains/proteins. The enzyme from the bacterium Escherichia coli interacts with an extracytoplasmic substrate binding protein and mediates the high affinity uptake of putrescine. Differs in specificity from EC 7.6.2.11, ABC-type polyamine transporter.
