Energy-coupled transport and signal transduction through the Gram-negative outer membrane via TonB-ExbB-ExbD-dependent receptor proteins

Open access
Braun, V·1995·FEMS Microbiology Reviews

Abstract

Iron in the form of ferric siderophore complexes and vitamin B12 are transported through the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria by a mechanism which consumes energy. There is no known energy source in the outer membrane or in the adjacent periplasmic space so that energy is provided by the electrochemical potential across the cytoplasmic membrane. Energy flows from the cytoplasmic into the outer membrane via a complex consisting of the TonB, ExbB and ExbD proteins which are anchored in the cytoplasmic membrane. It is proposed that the TonB--ExbB--ExbD complex opens--via an energized conformation of the TonB protein--channels in the outer membrane, formed by proteins which serves as highly specific binding sites for the various ferric siderophores and vitamin B12. In addition, outer membrane receptors together with the TonB--ExbB--ExbD complex are directly involved in induction of the transcription of ferric citrate and pseudobactin transport genes of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida, respectively.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
