Highly selective tungstate transporter protein TupA from Desulfovibrio alaskensis G20

Abstract Molybdenum and tungsten are taken up by bacteria and archaea as their soluble oxyanions through high affinity transport systems belonging to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. The component A (ModA/TupA) of these transporters is the first selection gate from which the cell differe...
