TLDR
Copurified ExbB with ExbD as an ∼240 kDa protein-detergent complex, measured by light scattering and by native gels to reconstruct the particles in three structural states followed by sorting of the single particles and refinement of each state.

Structural insight into the role of the Ton complex in energy transduction

TL;DR: Electrophysiology studies show that the Ton subcomplex forms pH-sensitive cation-selective channels and provide insight into the mechanism by which it may harness the proton motive force to produce energy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Iron and Siderophores in Infection, and the Development of Siderophore Antibiotics

TL;DR: The mechanisms implicated in iron uptake and the challenges associated with the design and utilization of siderophore-mimicking antibiotics are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hexameric and pentameric complexes of the ExbBD energizer in the Ton system

TL;DR: This work presents structures of hexameric complexes of ExbB and ExbD revealed by X-ray crystallography and single particle cryo-EM and proposes models for activation/inactivation associated with hexamer and pentamer formation and utilization of proton motive force.
Journal ArticleDOI

ROSET Model of TonB Action in Gram-negative Bacterial Iron Acquisition

TL;DR: The ROSET model postulates a mechanism for the transfer of energy from the IM to the OM, triggering iron uptake, and the equilibration of the TonB C terminus between the dimeric and monomeric forms that engage in different binding reactions allows the identification of iron-loaded LGP and then the internalization of iron through their trans-outer membrane β-barrels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbial siderophore-based iron assimilation and therapeutic applications

TL;DR: The study of biosynthetic pathways to natural siderophores augments the understanding of the complex mechanisms of bacterial iron acquisition, and enables a complimentary approach to address virulence through the interruption of sidersophore biosynthesis or utilization by targeting the key enzymes to the siderophile pathways.

Molecular Basis of Bacterial Outer Membrane Permeability Revisited

TL;DR: This review summarizes the development in the field since the previous review and begins to understand how this bilayer of the outer membrane can retard the entry of lipophilic compounds, owing to increasing knowledge about the chemistry of lipopolysaccharide from diverse organisms and the way in which lipopoly Saccharide structure is modified by environmental conditions.

Optimal determination of particle orientation, absolute hand, and contrast loss in single-particle electron cryomicroscopy.

TL;DR: The hand determination and refinement optimization procedure is applied to image pairs of the dihydrolipoyl acetyltransferase (E2) catalytic core of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex from Bacillus stearothermophilus taken by low-dose electron cryomicroscopy.

TonB-Dependent Transporters: Regulation, Structure, and Function

TL;DR: Recent progress in understanding regulation, structure, and function in TBDTs is summarized and questions remaining to be answered are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Volume changes on protein folding.

TL;DR: The exceptionally high density of the protein interior shown here implies that packing forces play a more important role in protein stability than has been believed hitherto.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disentangling conformational states of macromolecules in 3D-EM through likelihood optimization.

TL;DR: This work presents a maximum likelihood–based classification method that does not depend on prior knowledge about the structural variability, and demonstrates its effectiveness for two macromolecular assemblies with different types of conformational variability: the Escherichia coli ribosome and Simian virus 40 large T-antigen.
