    Abstract:
    ATP binding cassette (ABC) proteins are present in all phyla of life and form one of the largest protein families. The Bacillus subtilis ABC transporter BmrA is a functional homodimer that can extrude many different harmful compounds out of the cell. Each BmrA monomer is composed of a transmembrane domain (TMD) and a nucleotide binding domain (NBD). While the TMDs of ABC transporters are sequentially diverse, the highly conserved NBDs harbor distinctive conserved motifs that enable nucleotide binding and hydrolysis, interdomain communication and that mark a protein as a member of the ABC superfamily. In the catalytic cycle of an ABC transporter, the NBDs function as the molecular motor that fuels substrate translocation across the membrane via the TMDs and are thus pivotal for the entire transport process. For a better understanding of the structural and dynamic consequences of nucleotide interactions within the NBD at atomic resolution, we determined the 1H, 13C and 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of the 259 amino acid wildtype BmrA-NBD in its post-hydrolytic, ADP-bound state.
