| UniProt functional annotation for P06129 | |||
| UniProt code: P06129. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Involved in the active translocation of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) across the outer membrane to the periplasmic space. It derives its energy for transport by interacting with the trans- periplasmic membrane protein TonB. Is also a receptor for bacteriophages BF23 and C1, and for A and E colicins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10485884, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2687240, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2982793}. | |
| Activity regulation: | Calcium increases vitamin B12 binding affinity by a factor of 50-100. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14499604}. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with TonB. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10485884, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14528295}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell outer membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12595710, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12652322, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2687240, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2982793}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12595710, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12652322, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2687240, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2982793}. | |
| Induction: | Constitutively expressed. Primary control of btuB expression by cobalamin occurs at the level of translation initiation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9852020}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the TonB-dependent receptor family. BtuB (TC 1.B.14.3.1) subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01531, ECO:0000305}. | |
