NameTonB-dependent transport
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionThe components of a TonB-dependent transport system include ExbB, ExbD, and TonB, respectively homologous to TolQ, TolR, and TolA of related tol-pal system. But while the tol-pal system includes seven genes altogether, including the peptidoglycan associated lipoprotein Pal, and seems required for maintaining integrity of the outer membrane, TonB systems tend to be required for siderophore or B12 uptake when mutant phenotypes are observed. At least two different exbB/exbD gene pair families exist, and two different pairs of HMMs currently model two different classes. The capacity for TonB-dependent transport is also marked by the presence of TonB-dependent transporters, which share a region of homology and may number more than 50 in a single genome.
