Summary
TorT binds TMAO and interacts with the periplasmic domain of TorS (Baraquet, 2006). [More information is available at EcoGene: EG12616]. TorT is a periplasmic protein involved in the regulation of the torCAD operon, whose expression is induced in the presence of TMAO. [More information is available at EcoCyc: G6515].
