Contents

Structure

The structure to the right (1xx3) shows the structure of TonB. The protein spans the periplasm [1], with the C-terminus of TonB spanning from residues ~150 to 239[2].

Function

TonB is involved in the uptake of iron as a component of the TonB/ExbB/ExbD complex of the Ton system. It's activity is determined by the presence of ExbB and ExbD[3]. The C-terminus of TonB interacts with outer membrane transporters, known as TonB-dependent outer membrane transporters (TBDTs)[4], allowing the translocation of biochemical molecules between the inner and outer membrane[2].

Interaction with ExbB/ExbD

TonB and ExbD bind to ExbB in a protein complex that prevents the degradation of the TonB protein. TonB and ExbD are anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane via their N-terminal hydrophobic sequences, with the rest of the protein complex extending into the periplasmic space, allowing for interaction with outer membrane proteins.[3]

BtuB-TonB Complex

TonB complexes with BtuB in order to aid the transport of nutrients such as cobalamins[5] across the outer membrane by incorporating the proton-motive force into the outer membrane.[6] TonB attaches to BtuB on the periplasmic side of the 614 amino acid BtuB protein[6].
