Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.3Å Ligands: 3PH, DAO, DPO, FTT, GCS, GMH, KDO, LDA, MYR, PA1, PO4 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT 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. Publication Abstract from PubMed The lasso peptide microcin J25 is known to hijack the siderophore receptor FhuA for initiating internalization. Here, we provide what is to our knowledge the first structural evidence on the recognition mechanism, and our biochemical data show that another closely related lasso peptide cannot interact with FhuA. Our work provides an explanation on the narrow activity spectrum of lasso peptides and opens the path to the development of new antibacterials.
