An ATP-binding cassette (ABC) type transporter, characterized by the presence of two similar ATP-binding domains/proteins and two integral membrane domains/proteins. This entry stands for a family of bacterial enzymes that are dedicated to the secretion of one or several closely related proteins belonging to the toxin, protease and lipase families. Examples from Gram-negative bacteria include alpha-hemolysin, cyclolysin, colicin V and siderophores, while examples from Gram-positive bacteria include bacteriocin, subtilin, competence factor and pediocin.

ATP phosphohydrolase (ABC-type, peptide-exporting)
An ATP-binding cassette (ABC) type transporter, characterized by the presence of two similar ATP-binding domains/proteins and two integral membrane domains/proteins. This entry stands for a family of bacterial enzymes that are dedicated to the secretion of one or several closely related proteins belonging to the toxin, protease and lipase families. Examples from Gram-negative bacteria include alpha-hemolysin, cyclolysin, colicin V and siderophores, while examples from Gram-positive bacteria include bacteriocin, subtilin, competence factor and pediocin.
components involved are SpaF and SpaG, function concluded from similarities with ABC transporters belonging to the HisP subfamily where the ATP binding sites are located in the N-terminal part of the protein
large in-frame deletion of SpaT, not translocation is interrupted, but proteolytic cleavage of the leader segment while the precurser resides in the cell wall
Use of alkaline phosphatase as a reporter polypeptide to study the role of the subtilin leader segment and the SpaT transporter in the posttranslational modifications and secretion of subtilin in Bacillus subtilis 168
