Siderophore-mediated iron transport: crystal structure of FhuA with bound lipopolysaccharide.

  ABSTRACT  
 
FhuA, the receptor for ferrichrome-iron in Escherichia coli, is a member of a family of integral outer membrane proteins, which, together with the energy-transducing protein TonB, mediate the active transport of ferric siderophores across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. The three-dimensional structure of FhuA is presented here in two conformations: with and without ferrichrome-iron at resolutions of 2.7 and 2.5 angstroms, respectively. FhuA is a beta barrel composed of 22 antiparallel beta strands. In contrast to the typical trimeric arrangement found in porins, FhuA is monomeric. Located within the beta barrel is a structurally distinct domain, the "cork," which mainly consists of a four-stranded beta sheet and four short alpha helices. A single lipopolysaccharide molecule is noncovalently associated with the membrane-embedded region of the protein. Upon binding of ferrichrome-iron, conformational changes are transduced to the periplasmic pocket of FhuA, signaling the ligand-loaded status of the receptor. Sequence homologies and mutagenesis data are used to propose a structural mechanism for TonB-dependent siderophore-mediated transport across the outer membrane.

Fig. 3. Representative section of the electron density map. Stereoview of the final 3F[obs]-2F[calc] electron density map (blue) at a resolution of 2.7 Å is contoured at 1.5 , showing the ferrichrome-iron binding site, including water molecules. The ferrichrome-iron molecule is shown in yellow, and the iron atom is indicated as a large red sphere. Select side-chain residues (Glu98, Gly99, and Gln100 from apex B; Tyr116 from apex C; Tyr244 and Trp246 from L3; Phe^313 from 7; Phe^391 from 9; and Phe^702 from 21) and the two water molecules (Wat151 and Wat154) found in the binding site are labeled (34) and colored white and red, respectively.

Superposition of the -carbon coordinates of FhuA and its complex with ferrichrome-iron illustrating the ligand-induced conformational changes observed in the cork domain. The cork domains of FhuA and its complex with ferrichrome-iron are shown in purple and yellow, respectively. The barrel strands (shown in blue) are represented as thin lines for clarity of the cork domain. Apices A, B, and C and Glu19 are labeled (34).

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
