==OVERVIEW== | ==OVERVIEW== | ||
Siderophore-binding proteins can be found in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in two divisions: hydroxamates and catecholates. In Escherichia coli. (E. coli) the ATP-binding cassette- type (ABC-type) protein FhuD is a common periplasmic protein which facilitates the transport of a variety of hydoxamate siderophores to the inner membrane-associated proteins FhuB and FhuC. 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. | |||
==PROTEIN STRUCTURE== | |||
FhuD is atypical for periplasmic ligand binding proteins. It is a bilobal kidney bean shape containing two domains which are connected by a 23-residue kinked α-helix. The N-terminal domain twisted fived-stranded parallel β-sheet whereas the C-terminal domain has a mixed five stranded β-sheet; both are surrounded by α-helices. Between the two domains lies the siderophore binding in the shallow pocket. In this pocket, side chain residues are able to hydrogen bond with the accepted siderophore. | |||
