Crystal structure of TonB in complex with FhuA, E. coli outer membrane receptor for ferrichromeCrystal structure of TonB in complex with FhuA, E. coli outer membrane receptor for ferrichrome
Structural highlights
Function[FHUA_ECOLI] This receptor binds the ferrichrome-iron ligand. It interacts with the TonB protein, which is responsible for energy coupling of the ferrichrome-promoted iron transport system. Acts as a receptor for bacteriophage T5 as well as T1, phi80 and colicin M. Binding of T5 triggers the opening of a high conductance ion channel. Can also transport the antibiotic albomycin.[1] [TONB_ECOLI] Interacts with outer membrane receptor proteins that carry out high-affinity binding and energy dependent uptake into the periplasmic space of specific substrates such as cobalamin, and various iron compounds (such as iron dicitrate, enterochelin, aerobactin, etc.). In the absence of TonB these receptors bind their substrates but do not carry out active transport. TonB also interacts with some colicins and is involved in the energy-dependent, irreversible steps of bacteriophages phi 80 and T1 infection. It could act to transduce energy from the cytoplasmic membrane to specific energy-requiring processes in the outer membrane, resulting in the release into the periplasm of ligands bound by these outer membrane proteins. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe cytoplasmic membrane protein TonB spans the periplasm of the Gram-negative bacterial cell envelope, contacts cognate outer membrane receptors, and facilitates siderophore transport. The outer membrane receptor FhuA from Escherichia coli mediates TonB-dependent import of ferrichrome. We report the 3.3 angstrom resolution crystal structure of the TonB carboxyl-terminal domain in complex with FhuA. TonB contacts stabilize FhuA's amino-terminal residues, including those of the consensus Ton box sequence that form an interprotein beta sheet with TonB through strand exchange. The highly conserved TonB residue arginine-166 is oriented to form multiple contacts with the FhuA cork, the globular domain enclosed by the beta barrel.
