... hcHATs, the regions of similarity cover the sequence segments within the C-terminal extracellulardomain. The segments correspond, in fact, with some of the a-amylase family CSRs, namely the b-strandsb2, ... is the light subunit thatpossesses the amino acid transportation activity,although without interacting with the heavy subunit itis unable to reach the plasma membrane. Thus, the role of the ... b-strandsb2, b3, b4 and b8 of the (b ⁄ a)8barrel domain, and forrBAT also with the short stretch near the C-terminus of domain B [9,19]. From the sequence–structure point of view, the basic difference...
