TonB is involved in the uptake of iron as a component of the TonB/ExbB/ExbD complex of the Ton system.

Contents

Structure

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.[1]


Function

The activity of TonB is determined by the presence of ExbB and ExbD. [1]

BtuB-TonB Complex

TonB complexes with BtuB in order to aid the transport of nutrients such as cobalamins[2] across the outer membrane by incorporating the proton-motive force into the outer membrane.[3] TonB attaches to BtuB on the periplasmic side of the 614 amino acid BtuB protein [3]
