Identification
Name:Ferric enterobactin
DescriptionFerric enterobactin is a member of the chemical class known as Catechols. These are compounds containing a 1,2-benzenediol moeity. Ferric enterobactin is a catecholate siderophore that binds with high affinity (Kd approximately 10-10 M) to the Escherichia coli outer membrane protein FepA. (PMID 10998164) The Escherichia coli FepA protein is an energy- and TonB-dependent, ligand-binding porin that functions as a receptor for the siderophore ferric enterobactin and colicins B and D. (PMID 9268330) The periplasmic protein FepB of Escherichia coli is a component of the ferric enterobactin transport system. (PMID 10986237) The ferric enterobactin receptor, FepA, is a TonB-dependent gated porin that transports the siderophore ferric enterobactin across the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. (PMID 7947735) In Escherichia coli, the outer membrane protein FepA is a receptor for the siderophore complex ferric enterobactin and for colicins B and D. (PMID 2201687) FepA is an Escherichia coli outer membrane receptor protein for the siderophore ferric enterobactin. (PMID 7504275) FepA is the Escherichia coli outer membrane receptor for ferric enterobactin, colicin D and colicin B. (PMID 11532122)

Molecular weight:

General function:
Involved in iron ion transmembrane transporter activity
Specific function:
Interacts with outer membrane receptor proteins that carry out high-affinity binding and energy dependent uptake into the periplasmic space of specific substrates such as cobalamin, and various iron compounds (such as iron dicitrate, enterochelin, aerobactin, etc.). In the absence of tonB these receptors bind their substrates but do not carry out active transport. TonB also interacts with some colicins and is involved in the energy- dependent, irreversible steps of bacteriophages phi 80 and T1 infection. It could act to transduce energy from the cytoplasmic membrane to specific energy-requiring processes in the outer membrane, resulting in the release into the periplasm of ligands bound by these outer membrane proteins
