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}.
