The mycobacterial ABC transporter IrtAB employs a membrane-facing crevice for siderophore-mediated iron uptake

Abstract The mycobacterial ABC transporter IrtAB features an ABC exporter fold, yet it imports iron-charged siderophores called mycobactins. Here, we present extensive cryo-EM analyses and DEER measurements, revealing that IrtAB alternates between an inward-facing and an outward-occluded conformatio...
