Ferric aerobactin-binding protein VatD

UniProtKB accession:  Q845T3

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Part of the ABC transporter complex VatCDB involved in the import of iron(3+)-complexed aerobactin, a citrate-hydroxamate siderophore produced by other bacteria. Binds the iron(3+)-aerobactin complex and transfers it to the membrane-bound permease (PubMed:16172537). Functions in the import of iron(3+)-complexed vulnibactin, a catecholate siderophore synthesized by V.vulnificus, in the absence of FatB (PubMed:24135791).
