Characterization of two new classes of periplasmic ferric binding proteins
Pathogenic bacteria acquire essential iron using specialized iron acquisition systems, such as the FbpABC transport system. The periplasmic FbpA protein delivers iron to the ABC transporter. FbpA proteins have two domains with the iron binding site located at the domain interface. A flexible inte...
