(E. coli) the ATP-binding cassette- type (ABC-type) protein FhuD (part of the helical backbone metal receptor superfamily) is a common periplasmic protein which facilitates the transport of a variety of hydoxamate siderophores to the inner membrane-associated proteins FhuB and FhuC.<ref name="lu"/> The structure of FhuD is atypical for periplasmic ligand binding protein due to its bilobal mixture of two α/β domains connected by long α-helix.<ref name="lu"/>,<ref name="la">PMID: 10742172</ref> | ||
