| Description | This entry describes ExbB proteins, part of the MotA/TolQ/ExbB protein family. The paired proteins MotA and MotB, TolQ and TolR, and ExbB and ExbD harness the proton-motive force to drive the flagellar motor, energize the Tol-Pal system, or energize TonB, respectively. Tol-Pal and TonB are both active at the outer membrane. Genomes may have many different TonB-dependent receptors, of which many of those characterised are involved in siderophore transport across the outer membrane.In E. coli, ExbB together with the ExbD and TonB proteins is involved in energy-coupled transport across the outer membrane [ ]. |
