Tellurium ion resistance

The Tellurium Ion Resistance (TerC) Family (TC# 2.A.109) is part of the Lysine Exporter (LysE) Superfamily.

A representative list of proteins belonging to the TerC family can be found in the Transporter Classification Database.

[2] A homologue in Arabidopsis thaliana (TC# 9.A.30.2.1) may function in prothylakoid membrane biogenises during early chloroplast development.

In E. coli, TerC forms a membrane complex with TerB as well as DctA, PspA, HslU, and RplK.

[6] The co-presence of TerC and TerE but not TerF correlates with tellurite resistance when several hundred bacterial strains were assayed.
