Powering down the Pfam website
On October 5th, we began redirecting traffic from Pfam (pfam.xfam.org) to InterPro (www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro). The Pfam website will remain available at pfam-legacy.xfam.org until January 2023, when it will be decommissioned. You can read more about the sunset period in our blog post.

ABC transporter transmembrane domain is main transmembrane structural unit of ABC transporters which consist of six transmembrane helixes. Many members of the ABC transporter family (Pfam PF00005) have two such regions.

ABC transporter transmembrane region 2 Provide feedback

This domain covers the transmembrane of a small family of ABC transporters and shares sequence similarity with PF00664. Mutations in this domain in P28288 are believed responsible for Zellweger Syndrome-2 [1]; mutations in P33897 are responsible for recessive X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy [2]. A Saccharomyces cerevisiae homolog is involved in the import of long-chain fatty acids [3].

InterPro entry IPR011527

This entry represents the transmembrane domain in cases where the TMD and ABC region are found in the same protein, and corresponds to ABC type 1 from Transporter Classification Database (http://www.tcdb.org/tcdb/index.php?tc=3.A.1).

ABC transporters minimally contain two conserved regions: a highly conserved ATP binding cassette (ABC) and a less conserved transmembrane domain (TMD). In certain bacterial transporters, these regions are found on different polypeptides. The function of the integral inner-membrane protein is to translocate the substrate across the membrane, as well as in substrate recognition [ PUBMED:9873074 , PUBMED:10529352 ].

ABC transporters belong to the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) superfamily, which uses the hydrolysis of ATP to energise diverse biological systems. ABC transporters minimally consist of two conserved regions: a highly conserved ATP binding cassette (ABC) and a less conserved transmembrane domain (TMD). These can be found on the same protein or on two different ones. Most ABC transporters function as a dimer and therefore are constituted of four domains, two ABC modules and two TMDs.

ABC transporters are involved in the export or import of a wide variety of substrates ranging from small ions to macromolecules. The major function of ABC import systems is to provide essential nutrients to bacteria. They are found only in prokaryotes and their four constitutive domains are usually encoded by independent polypeptides (two ABC proteins and two TMD proteins). Prokaryotic importers require additional extracytoplasmic binding proteins (one or more per systems) for function. In contrast, export systems are involved in the extrusion of noxious substances, the export of extracellular toxins and the targeting of membrane components. They are found in all living organisms and in general the TMD is fused to the ABC module in a variety of combinations. Some eukaryotic exporters encode the four domains on the same polypeptide chain [ PUBMED:9873074 ].

The ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) superfamily forms one of the largest of all protein families with a diversity of physiological functions [ PUBMED:9873074 ]. Several studies have shown that there is a correlation between the functional characterisation and the phylogenetic classification of the ABC cassette [ PUBMED:9873074 , PUBMED:11421270 ]. More than 50 subfamilies have been described based on a phylogenetic and functional classification [ PUBMED:9873074 , PUBMED:11421269 , PUBMED:11421270 ]; (for further information see http://www.tcdb.org/tcdb/index.php?tc=3.A.1).

Alignments

We store a range of different sequence alignments for families. As well as the seed alignment from which the family is built, we provide the full alignment, generated by searching the sequence database (reference proteomes) using the family HMM. We also generate alignments using four representative proteomes (RP) sets and the UniProtKB sequence database. More...

View options

We make a range of alignments for each Pfam-A family. You can see a description of each above. You can view these alignments in various ways but please note that some types of alignment are never generated while others may not be available for all families, most commonly because the alignments are too large to handle.

HMM logos is one way of visualising profile HMMs. Logos provide a quick overview of the properties of an HMM in a graphical form. You can see a more detailed description of HMM logos and find out how you can interpret them here. More...

Trees

This page displays the phylogenetic tree for this family's seed alignment. We use FastTree to calculate neighbour join trees with a local bootstrap based on 100 resamples (shown next to the tree nodes). FastTree calculates approximately-maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees from our seed alignment.

Note: You can also download the data file for the tree.

Structures

For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the ABC_membrane_2 domain has been found. There are 6 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein sequence.
