Abstract excerpt
FhuA in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli serves as a transporter for ferrichrome, the antibiotics albomycin and rifamycin CGP4832, colicin M, and as receptor for phages T1, T5 and phi80. The previously determined crystal structure reveals that residues 160-714 of the mature protein form a beta-barrel that is closed from the periplasmic side by the globular N-proximal fragment, residues 1-159, designated the...
