bacterial solute-binding protein 8 family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as FHUD_ECOLI, fhuD. Part of the ABC transporter complex FhuCDB 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 all iron(3+)-hydroxamate siderophores such as ferrichrome, gallichrome, desferrioxamine, coprogen, aerobactin, shizokinen, rhodotorulic acid and the antibiotic albomycin. The complex is composed of two ATP-binding proteins (FhuC), two transmembrane proteins (FhuB) and a solute-binding protein (FhuD) (Probable). FhuD interacts with FhuB (PubMed:8522527, PubMed:9426146).
