Active transport of vitamin B12 and Fe(III)-siderophore complexes across the outer membrane of Escherichia coli appears to be dependent upon the ability of the TonB protein to couple cytoplasmic membrane-generated protonmotive force to outer membrane receptors. TonB is supported in this role by an auxiliary protein, ExbB, which, in addition to stabilizing TonB against the activities of endogenous envelope...
