Vitamin B12 import proteins C015 / 9942
Vitamin B12 import proteins, molecular model. This complex is the import proteins btuC, btuD, and btuF. The first two together form BtuCD, an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter. Its role is to translocate vitamin B12 from BtuF (a periplasmic binding protein) into the cytoplasm of the bacterium Escherichia coli. ATP-binding cassette transporters (ABC transporters) are being studied in relation to their role in a range of inherited diseases and processes, including resistance to tumours, and conditions such as cystic fibrosis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of Vitamin B12 import proteins C015 / 9942. The image features a white background, allowing the viewer to focus solely on the bound structure and binding capabilities of these essential proteins. The complex depicted in this artwork consists of three import proteins: btuC, btuD, and btuF. When combined, btuC and btuD form BtuCD - an ATP-binding cassette transporter responsible for translocating vitamin B12 from the periplasmic binding protein (BtuF) into the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli bacteria. ATP-binding cassette transporters (ABC transporters) like BtuCD are currently under intense study due to their potential involvement in various inherited diseases and processes. Scientists are particularly interested in understanding their role in tumor resistance as well as conditions such as cystic fibrosis. The detailed illustration highlights not only the structural intricacies but also emphasizes the biochemical significance of these import proteins. It serves as a reminder that even at a microscopic level, biological systems rely on precise interactions between molecules to carry out vital metabolic functions. This stunning visual representation offers valuable insights into molecular biology and metabolism while shedding light on ongoing research related to ABC transporters' impact on human health.
