[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/EXBB_ECOLI EXBB_ECOLI]] Involved in the TonB-dependent energy-dependent transport of various receptor-bound substrates. Protects ExbD from proteolytic degradation and functionally stabilizes TonB. [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/EXBD_ECOLI EXBD_ECOLI]] Involved in the TonB-dependent energy-dependent transport of various receptor-bound substrates.

The TonB-ExbB-ExbD molecular motor harnesses the proton motive force across the bacterial inner membrane to couple energy to transporters at the outer membrane, facilitating uptake of essential nutrients such as iron and cobalamine. TonB physically interacts with the nutrient-loaded transporter to exert a force that opens an import pathway across the outer membrane. Until recently, no high-resolution structural information was available for this unique molecular motor. We published the first crystal structure of ExbB-ExbD in 2016 and showed that five copies of ExbB are arranged as a pentamer around a single copy of ExbD. However, our spectroscopic experiments clearly indicated that two copies of ExbD are present in the complex. To resolve this ambiguity, we used single-particle cryo-electron microscopy to show that the ExbB pentamer encloses a dimer of ExbD in its transmembrane pore, and not a monomer as previously reported. The revised stoichiometry has implications for motor function.
