Molecular basis for substrate-dependent transmembrane signaling in an outer-membrane transporter.

Abstract excerpt

Transmembrane signaling events that propagate through receptors and transporters have critical roles in cellular function and regulation. In the Escherichia coli vitamin B(12) transporter, BtuB, substrate binding to the extracellular surface of the protein triggers the unfolding of an energy coupling motif at the periplasmic surface. Here, the molecular interactions mediating this substrate-dependent...
