Gating of TonB-dependent transporters by substrate-specific forced remodelling
Bacterial outer membrane TonB-dependent transporters (TBDTs) mediate the influx of several nutrients. Here the authors use single-molecule force spectroscopy to show that the interaction between TonB andEscherichia coliTBDT BtuB is mechanically resistant to the pulling that gates the BtuB channel.
