Structure
The Ton system comprises of the triumvirate TonB/ExbB/ExbD inner membrane complex.
Function
The Ton proteins are involved in the uptake of vitamin B12 and chelated-iron into the cell[2], and the system as a whole is known to be an energy-transducing system. Each of the three proteins involved have their separate role[3]. For more information, see the respective pages for TonB, ExbB and ExbD.
The Ton system can be exploited by group B Colicins {see Colicin for more details) which include[4][5]:
- Colicin 5
- Colicin 6
- Colicin 7
- Colicin 8
- Colicin 9
- Colicin 10
- Colicin Ia
- Colicin Ib
- Colicin B
- Colicin D
- Colicin M
- Colicin V
- Colicin Js
- Colicin Y
Interaction of Ton proteins
Like in the Tol complex, the Ton system proteins interact with each other[6]:
- the transmembrane domain of TonB interacts with both ExbB and ExbD, which contribute to the stability of the protein and support the TonB-dependent active transport across the outer membrane.
- ExbB and ExbD interact with each other, which has been suggested to play a part in the mechanism of energy transduction
