Title: Identification of an outer membrane protein responsible for the binding of the Fe-enterochelin complex to Escherichia coli cells. Author: Ichihara S, Mizushima S. Journal: J Biochem; 1978 Jan; 83(1):137-40. PubMed ID: 146705. Abstract: Escherichia coli incorporates iron as a complex with enterochelin. By using mutants which lack one or the other, or both, of the outer membrane proteins, O-2b and O-3, we have shown that protein O-2b (feuB protein) is responsible for the primary binding of the iron-enterochelin complex to the outer membrane in the process of iron transport.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
