Abstract: The formate‐specific anion channel FocA of Escherichia coli belongs to the superfamily of homopentameric formate‐nitrite transporters (FNT). Minimally nine amino acid residues are conserved in the formate translocation pore of each protomer of the pentamer,… read more here.

Abstract: FocA belongs to the pentameric FNT (formate‐nitrite transporter) superfamily of anion channels, translocating formate bidirectionally across the cytoplasmic membrane of Escherichia coli and other microorganisms. While the membrane‐integral core of FocA shares considerable amino acid… read more here.
