The Pseudomonas OprP Porin (POP) Family [Function: Specific channels] Seed alignment | Full alignment in OMPdb | |
This family is comprised by proteins similar to the phosphate-selective porins O and P, which are found mainly in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These anion-specific porins possess a binding site that has a higher affinity to phosphate than chloride ions. Porin O (OprO) has a higher affinity to polyphosphates, while porin P (OprP) has a higher affinity to orthophosphate. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, porin O was found to be expressed only under phosphate-starvation conditions during the stationary growth phase. The crystal structure of OprP has revealed a 16-stranded ß-barrel similar to other general diffusion porins. | |
