Overview

Basic information about this protein and its source genome.

Accession: PA4616
Assembly: Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, complete genome
Gene: PA4616
Status: annotated
Amino acids: 332
Structure source: Experimental + AlphaFold

GO:0030288 The region between the inner (cytoplasmic or plasma) membrane and outer membrane of organisms with two membranes such as Gram negative bacteria. These periplasmic spaces are relatively thick and contain a thin peptidoglycan layer (PGL), also referred to as a thin cell wall. GO:0015740 The directed movement of a C4-dicarboxylate into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. A C4-dicarboxylate is the anion of a dicarboxylic acid that contains four carbon atoms. GO:0055085 The process in which a solute is transported across a lipid bilayer, from one side of a membrane to the other.
