Abstract excerpt
The TonB-dependent transport of scarcely available substrates across the outer membrane is a conserved feature in Gram-negative bacteria. The plasma membrane-embedded TonB-ExbB-ExbD accomplishes complex functions as an energy transducer by physically interacting with TonB-dependent outer membrane transporters (TBDTs). TonB mediates structural rearrangements in the substrate-loaded TBDTs that are required for...
