| Description | This entry represents a family of TonB-dependent outer membrane receptor/transporters acting on iron-containing proteins such as haemoglobin, transferrin and lactoferrin. It contains the haem/haemoglobin receptor family and the transferrin/lactoferrin receptor family. Nearly all of the species, which contain sequences in this family have access to haemoglobin, transferrin or lactoferrin or related proteins in their biological niche and the proteins are therefore most likely to be haemoglobin transporters.Proteins in this entry includes TbpA from Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B. It can form the transferrin complex that acquires iron by extracting it from serum transferrin (TF) in its human host. It contains the classic fold with a 22-strand transmembrane β-barrel encompassing a plug domain [ ]. |
