Abstract

The CydDC family of ABC transporters export the low molecular weight thiols glutathione and cysteine to the periplasm of a variety of bacterial species. The CydDC complex has previously been shown to be important for disulfide folding, motility, respiration, and tolerance to nitric oxide and antibiotics. In addition, CydDC is thus far unique amongst ABC transporters in that it binds a haem cofactor that appears to modulate ATPase activity. CydDC has a diverse impact upon bacterial metabolism, growth, and virulence, and is of interest to those working on membrane transport mechanisms, redox biology, aerobic respiration, and stress sensing/tolerance during infection.
