Aromatic components of two ferric enterobactin binding sites in Escherichia coli FepA.
Ferric enterobactin is a catecholate siderophore that binds with high affinity (Kd approximately 10-10 M) to the Escherichia coli outer membrane protein FepA. We studied the involvement of aromatic amino acids in its uptake by determining the binding affinities, kinetics and transport properties of site-directed mutants. We replaced seven aromatic residues (Y260, Y272, Y285, Y289, W297, Y309 an...
متن کاملRecognition and transport of ferric enterobactin in Escherichia coli.
The specificity of the outer membrane protein receptor for ferric enterobactin transport in Escherichia coli and the mechanism of enterobactin-mediated transport of ferric ions across the outer membrane have been studied. Transport kinetic and inhibition studies with ferric enterobactin and synthetic structural analogs have mapped the parts of the molecule important for receptor binding. The fe...
متن کاملPassive immunization by recombinant ferric enterobactin protein (FepA) from Escherichia coli O157
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 has been recognized as a major food borne pathogen responsible for frequent hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans. Cattle are important reservoirs of E. coli O157:H7, in which the organism colonizes the intestinal tract and is shed in the feces. OBJECTIVE Vaccination of cattle has significant pot...

متن کاملSpectroscopic observations of ferric enterobactin transport.
We characterized the uptake of ferric enterobactin (FeEnt), the native Escherichia coli ferric siderophore, through its cognate outer membrane receptor protein, FepA, using a site-directed fluorescence methodology. The experiments first defined locations in FepA that were accessible to covalent modification with fluorescein maleimide (FM) in vivo; among 10 sites that we tested by substituting s...
