Reaction: ATP + H2O + protein[side 1] = ADP + phosphate + protein[side 2]
Other name(s): PrtDEF (gene names); hasDEF (gene names); peptide-transporting ATPase (ambiguous)
Systematic name: ATP phosphohydrolase (ABC-type, peptide-exporting)
Comments: 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 α-hemolysin, cyclolysin, colicin V and siderophores, while examples from Gram-positive bacteria include bacteriocin, subtilin, competence factor and pediocin.
