spinqualitylabelsall models E. coli FhuA complex with ferrichrome and Fe+3 ion (orange) (PDB code 1by5). Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Function Ferric hydroxamate uptake receptor or ferrichrome-binding periplasmic protein proteins FhuA, FhuB, FhuC and FhuD are involved in the uptake of the hydroxamate ferrichrome siderophore for use as an iron source[1]. FhuA is the outer membrane transporter of ferrichrome and is the E. coli receptor of some phages and colicin M[2]. For more details see FhuD. Disease Haemophilus parasuis uses Fhu to capture iron and is the cause of the Glasser disease in pigs. Structural highlights includes (in cyan) and contains Fe atom. The (Hydrophobic, Polar).[3]
