3.A.1.12.5
Uptake system for glycine-betaine (high affinity) and proline (low affinity) (OpuAA-OpuABC) or BusAA-ABC of Lactococcus lactis). BusAA, the ATPase subunit, has a C-terminal tandem cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) domain which is the cytoplasmic K+ sensor for osmotic stress (osmotic strength)while the BusABC subunit has the membrane and receptor domains fused to each other (Biemans-Oldehinkel et al., 2006; Mahmood et al., 2006; Gul et al. 2012). An N-terminal amphipathic α-helix of OpuA is necessary for high activity but is not critical for biogenesis or the ionic regulation of transport (Gul et al., 2012). ATP and glycine betaine dependences of conformational changes have been examined (Tassis et al. 2020).  OpuA senses osmotic stress via changes in the internal ionic strength and is regulated by the 2nd messenger cyclic-di-AMP. The SBDs transiently interact in an ionic strength-dependent manner. The physical interactions between SBDs and cooperativity in substrate delivery are part of the transport mechanism (van den Noort et al. 2024).
