Mycobactin import ATP-binding/permease protein IrtA

UniProtKB accession:  G7CBF5

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Part of the ABC transporter complex IrtAB involved in the import of iron-bound mycobactin (Fe-MBT) and carboxymycobactin (Fe-cMBT) (PubMed:32296173). Has a preference for Fe-MBT over Fe-cMBT (PubMed:32296173). Mycobactins are then reduced by the siderophore interaction domain to facilitate iron release in the bacterial cell (PubMed:32296173). Transmembrane domains (TMD) form a pore in the membrane and the ATP-binding domain (NBD) is responsible for energy generation (PubMed:32296173).
