Figure 1.

Structural diversity of ABC transporters. Illustration of the various domain organizations found among members of the ABC transporter family in C. elegans. TM indicates a transmembrane domain typically containing six predicted membrane-spanning helices. ABC indicates an ATP-binding cassette domain. The color codes for each structure are used throughout the figures to show the lack of concordance between structural categories and families defined on the basis of sequence similarity.
