摘要
The Escherichia coli iron transport system via ferrichrome belongs to the group of ATP-dependent transporters that are widely distributed in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Transport across the cytoplasmic membrane is mediated by three proteins: FhuD in the periplasm, FhuB in the cytoplasmic membrane and FhuC (ATPase) associated with the inside of the cytoplasmic membrane. Interaction of FhuD with FhuB was studied in vitro with biotinylated synthetic 10 residue and 20-24 residue peptides of FhuB by determining the activity of beta-galactosidase linked to the peptides via streptavidin. Peptides identical in sequence to only one of the four periplasmic loops (loop 2), predicted by a transmembrane model of FhuB, and peptides representing a transmembrane segment and part of the adjacent cytoplasmic loop 7 of FhuB bound to FhuD, Decapeptides were transferred into the periplasm of cells through a FhuA deletion derivative that forms permanently open channels three times as large as the porins in the outer membrane. FhuB peptides that bound to FhuD inhibited ferrichrome transport, while peptides that did not bind to FhuD did not affect transport. These data led us to propose that the periplasmic FhuD interacts with a transmembrane region and the cytoplasmic segment 7 of FhuB, The transmembrane region may be part of a pore through which a portion of FhuD inserts into the cytoplasmic membrane during transport, The cytoplasmic segment 7 of FhuB contains the conserved amino acid sequence EAA...G (in FhuB DTA...G) found in ABC transporters, which is predicted to interact with the cytoplasmic FhuC ATPase, Triggering of ATP hydrolysis by substrate-loaded FhuD may occur by physical interaction between FhuD and FhuC, which bind close to each other on loop 7, Although FhuB consists of two homologous halves, FhuB(N) and FhuB(C), the sites identified for FhuD-mediated ferrichrome transport are asymmetrically arranged.
