HAD

YniC is a sugar phosphatase belonging to the superfamily of haloacid dehalogenase (HAD)-like hydrolases. Its preferred substrate is 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate. The phosphatase activity of YniC was first discovered in a high-throughput screen of purified proteins. Phosphatase activity of YniC is dependent on the presence of a divalent cation such as Mg2+, which appears to affect substrate binding.

Gln h

The GlnHPQ high-affinity glutamine transport system is a member of the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) Superfamily of transporters. Based on sequence similarity, GlnH is the periplasmic glutamine-binding protein, GlnQ is the ATP-binding component, and GlnP is the membrane component of the ABC transporter.
