The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

• Catalyzed reaction/biological activity:

Substrate binding protein for the triscatecholate siderophores ferri-bacillibactin and ferri-enterobactin and part of the FeuA-FeuB-FeuC-YusV ATP-binding cassette-type transporter. Furthermore ferric complexes of L-norepinephrine are bound by this protein.

• Protein family: Fe/B12 periplasmic-binding domain (according to Swiss-Prot)

• Paralogous protein(s):

Extended information on the protein

• Kinetic information:

• Domains:

Two independent non-symmetric globular domains, connected by a long alpha-helix (residues 143-164 of the mature protein).
