UniProtKB description: Substrate-binding (S) component of an energy-coupling factor (ECF) ABC-transporter complex. Mediates riboflavin uptake, may also transport FMN and roseoflavin. Probably a riboflavin-binding protein that interacts with the energy-coupling factor (ECF) ABC-transporter complex. Unlike classic ABC transporters this ECF transporter provides the energy necessary to transport a number of different substrates. The substrates themselves are bound by transmembrane, not extracytoplasmic soluble proteins (Probable). Expression of the complex plus RibU in E.coli allows riboflavin uptake; uptake does not occur in the absence of RibU or the EcfA1A2T complex.
