Structure and selectivity of a glutamate-specific TAXI TRAP binding protein from Vibrio cholerae.

Tripartite ATP-independent periplasmic (TRAP) transporters are widespread in prokaryotes and are responsible for the transport of a variety of different ligands, primarily organic acids. TRAP transporters can be divided into two subclasses; DctP-type and TAXI type, which share the same overall architecture and substrate-binding protein requirement. DctP-type transporters are very well studied and have been shown to transport a range of compounds including dicarboxylates, keto acids, and sugar acids.

Mitochondrial Genome Evolution, Genetic Diversity, and Population Structure in British Water Voles ().

The European water vole () is a rodent within the subfamily Arvicolinae. In Britain, water voles have declined rapidly during the last century, making them a conservation priority. The relationship of to other genera within Arvicolinae remains debated.
