Genetic mapping of the interface between the ArsD metallochaperone and the ArsA ATPase.

Abstract excerpt

The ArsD metallochaperone delivers trivalent metalloids, As(III) or Sb(III), to the ArsA ATPase, the catalytic subunit of the ArsAB As(III) efflux pump. Transfer of As(III) increases the affinity of ArsA for As(III), allowing resistance to environmental arsenic concentrations. As(III) transfer is channelled from chaperone to ATPase, implying that ArsD and ArsA form an interface at their metal binding sites. A...
