EC 7.3.2.7 Details
EC number
7.3.2.7
Accepted name
arsenite-transporting ATPase
Reaction
ATP + H2O + arsenite[side 1] = ADP + phosphate + arsenite[side 2]
Other name(s)
arsAB (gene names)
Systematic name
ATP phosphohydrolase (arsenite-exporting)
Comment
This bacterial transporter does not belong to the ABC superfamily, and instead is a member of its own family, referred to as the Ars family. The enzyme usually contains two subunits where one (with 12 membrane-spanning segments) forms the ’channel’ part and the other (occurring in pairs peripherally to the membrane) contains the ATP-binding site. It forms an arsenite efflux pump that removes arsenite from the cytoplasm, and can also remove antimonite anions.
