Abstract excerpt
The enterobactin system for iron transport in Escherichia coli is well characterized with the exception of the mechanism of enterobactin secretion to the extracellular environment. Escherichia coli membrane protein P43, encoded by ybdA in the chromosomal region of genes involved in enterobactin synthesis, shows strong homology to the 12-transmembrane segment major facilitator superfamily of export pumps. A...
