Selective Nutrient Transport in Bacteria: Multicomponent Transporter Systems Reign Supreme
29 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
Multicomponent transporters are used by bacteria to transport a wide range of nutrients. These systems use a substrate-binding protein to bind the nutrient with high affinity and then deliver it to a membrane-bound transporter for uptake. Nutrient uptake pathways are linked to the colonisation potential and pathogenicity of bacteria in humans and may be candidates for antimicrobial targeting. Here we review...
