Abstract excerpt
The ferrichrome-iron receptor of Escherichia coli K-12 is FhuA (M(r), 78,992), the first component of an energy-dependent, high-affinity iron uptake pathway. FhuA is also the cognate receptor for bacteriophages T5, T1, phi 80, and UC-1, for colicin M and microcin 25, and for albomycin. To probe the topological organization of FhuA which enables recognition of these different ligands, we generated a library of 16...
