Structural highlights
3hxp is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Bacillus subtilis. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
FHUD_BACSU Part of the ABC transporter complex FhuCBGD involved in iron(3+)-hydroxamate import. Binds the iron(3+)-hydroxamate complex and transfers it to the membrane-bound permease. Required for the transport of ferrichrome and coprogen.[1][2]
