Abstract
ATP-driven heavy metal pumps represent a newly defined class of proteins that translocate toxic and essential metals across biological membranes. These transporters form a separate evolutionary branch of the ion-transporting P-type ATPases. We propose to call these enzymes CPx-type ATPases, based on the common novel feature of a conserved intramembranous cysteine-proline-cysteine or cysteine-proline-histidine motif.Entities:
