2.A.56.1.10
Transporter for lignin derived aromatic compounds, TarPQM (Salmon et al. 2013).  The purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris is able to grow photoheterotrophically under anaerobic conditions on a range of phenylpropeneoid lignin monomers, including coumarate, ferulate, caffeate, and cinnamate. TarPQM is encoded at the same locus as CouPSTW (TC# 3.A.1.4.11) and several other genes involved in coumarate metabolism. The periplasmic binding-protein of this system (TarP) binds coumarate, ferulate, caffeate, and cinnamate with nanomolar KD values. Thus, R. palustris uses two redundant but energetically distinct primary and secondary transporters that both employ high-affinity periplasmic binding-proteins to maximize the uptake of lignin-derived aromatic substrates from the environment (Salmon et al. 2013).
