Proton-coupled antiporter flippase LtaA

UniProtKB accession:  Q2FZP8

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Proton-coupled antiporter flippase that catalyzes the translocation, from the inner to the outer leaflet of the cell membrane, of the lipid-linked disaccharide (anchor-LLD) that anchors lipoteichoic acids (LTA) to the cell membrane (PubMed:17209021, PubMed:32367070). Displays high selectivity towards the headgroup of its substrate (PubMed:32367070). Plays an important role during infection (PubMed:17209021). Contributes to S.aureus survival under physiological acidic conditions (PubMed:32367070).
