binding-protein-dependent transport system permease family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as CNTC_STAA8, cntC, opp1C. Part of the ABC transporter complex CntABCDF (Opp1) involved in the uptake of metal in complex with the metallophore staphylopine (StP). Involved in the import of divalent metals ions such as nickel, cobalt and zinc. Probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane (PubMed:23279021, PubMed:29581261). Plays a major role in nickel/cobalt import in zinc-depleted conditions. Contributes to virulence. Required for full urease activity in vitro (PubMed:23279021). The complex is composed of two ATP-binding proteins (CntD and CntF), two transmembrane proteins (CntB and CntC) and a solute-binding protein (CntA).
