FhuE ferric-coprogen receptor of 729 aas and 1 N-terminal TMS.  It is required for the uptake of Fe3+ via coprogen, ferrioxamine B, and rhodotorulic acid (Hantke 1983). The crystal structure of FhuE in complex with coprogen was determined, providing a structural basis to explain its selective promiscuity (Grinter and Lithgow 2019). The structural data, in combination with functional analysis, showed that FhuE has evolved to specifically engage with planar siderophores. A potential evolutionary driver, and a critical consequence of this selectivity, is that it allows FhuE to exclude antibiotics that mimic nonplanar hydroxamate siderophores.  These toxic molecules could otherwise cross the outer membrane barrier through a Trojan horse mechanism (Grinter and Lithgow 2019).

FhuA ferrichrome (also albomycin and rifamycin; Colicin M; Microcin J25; Phage T5) receptor (transports phage T1, T5 and φ80 DNA across the outer membrane, dependent on DcrA (SdaC; TC #2.A.42.2.1) and DcrB) (Forms a complex with and acts with TonB and FhuD (the periplasmic binding receptor (3.A.1.14.3) to deliver siderophore to FhuD (Carter et al., 2006; Braun et al., 2009)).  Deletion of the 160-residue cork domain and five large extracellular loops converted this non-conductive, monomeric, 22-stranded beta-barrel protein into a large-conductance protein pore (Wolfe et al. 2015). FhuA and its various applications indicate that it is a versatile building block to generate hybrid catalysts and materials (Sauer et al. 2023).

FepA ferri-enterobactin (also Colicins B and D) receptor for the 37 aas disulfide-containing K+ channel toxin, BgK (Braud et al., 2004). Functions by a "ball and chain" mechanism; The transport process involves expulsion of the N-terminal globular domain from the C-terminal beta-barrel (Ma et al. 2007). Conformational rearrangements occur in the N-terminus of FepA during FeEnt transport, but disengagement of the N-domain, out of the rigid channel suggests that it remains within the transmembrane pore as FeEnt enters the periplasm (Majumdar et al. 2020).

Lactoferrin receptor (A=OMR porin; B=lipoprotein), LbpAB or IroAB. This two-component system extracts iron from the host glycoproteins lactoferrin and transferrin. Homologous iron-transport systems consist of a membrane-bound transporter and an accessory lipoprotein. The crystal structure of the N-terminal domain (N-lobe) of the accessory lipoprotein, lactoferrin-binding protein B (LbpB) is homologous to the structures of the accessory lipoproteins, transferrin-binding protein B (TbpB) and LbpB from the bovine pathogen Moraxella bovis. Docking the LbpB  with lactoferrin reveals extensive binding interactions with the N1 subdomain of lactoferrin. The nature of the interaction precludes apolactoferrin from binding LbpB, ensuring the specificity for iron-loaded lactoferrin, safeguarding proper delivery of iron-bound lactoferrin to the transporter LbpA. The structure also reveals a possible secondary role for LbpB in protecting the bacteria from host defences. Following proteolytic digestion of lactoferrin, a cationic peptide derived from the N-terminus is released. This peptide, called lactoferricin, exhibits potent antimicrobial effects. The docked model of LbpB with lactoferrin reveals that LbpB interacts extensively with the N-terminal lactoferricin region (Brooks et al. 2014).

BtuB cobalamin receptor (also transports phage C1 DNA across the outer membrane). Two Ca2+ binding sites in BtuB mediate cobalamine binding (Cadieux et al., 2007). Cobalamine uptake into the periplasm is reversible, but efflux is pmf-independent (Cadieux et al., 2007). The 3-d structure is available (PDB#1NQE).  The Ton box and the extracellular substrate binding site are allosterically coupled (bidirectional), and TonB binding may initiate a partial round of transport (Sikora et al. 2016).  Substrate binding to the extracellular surface of the protein triggers the unfolding of an energy coupling motif at the periplasmic surface.  Thus, substrate binding reduces the interaction free energy between certain residues, thereby triggering the unfolding of the energy coupling motif (Lukasik et al. 2007). Multiple extracellular loops contribute to substrate binding and transport by BtuB (Fuller-Schaefer and Kadner 2005).

HasR receptor-HasA haemophore heme receptor complex (HasA, an extracellular heme binding protein, binds one heme and transfers it directly to HasR, which uses HasB (2.C.1.1.2) (a TonB homologue) instead of TonB (2.C.1.1.1) for energization) (Benevides-Matos et al., 2008; Izadi-Pruneyre et al., 2006; Lefèvre et al., 2008; Benevides-Matos and Biville, 2010). A signaling domain in HasR interacts with a partially unfolded periplasmic domain of an antisigma factor, HasS, to control transcription by an ECF sigma factor (Malki et al. 2014).  The HasR domain responsible for signal transfer is highly flexible in two stages of signaling, extends into the periplasm at about 70 to 90 A from the HasR beta-barrel and exhibits local conformational changes in response to the arrival of signaling activators (Wojtowicz et al. 2016).

Vibriobactin receptor, VuiA or VuuA of 687 aas and 1 N-terminal TMS.

TonB-dependent receptor of 700 aas, YncD, a probable iron transporter/receptor in the outer membrane.  Deletion of the orthologous yncD genes in Salmonella strains leads to attenuated strains, potentially useful for vaccine development (Xiong et al. 2012; Xiong et al. 2015). Its synthesis is depressed by inclusion of high glucose concentrations in the medium (Yang et al. 2011). YncD is a receptor for a T1-like Escherichia coli phage named vB_EcoS_IME347 (IME347) (Li et al. 2018).

Cobalt cation concentration sensitive Btu-like system, Btu1, of 698 aas and 1 N-terminal TMS. It facilitates cobalamin uptake in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 (Graf et al. 2024).  The regulation by cobalt and cobalamin as well as their uptakes are described for Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, a model filamentous heterocyst-forming cyanobacterium. Anabaena contains at least three cobalamin riboswitches in its genome, for one of which the functionality was confirmed (Graf et al. 2024). Two outer membrane-localized cobalamin TonB-dependent transporters, namely BtuB1 and BtuB2, were identified. BtuB2 is important for fast uptake of cobalamin under conditions with low external cobalt, whereas BtuB1 appears to function in cobalamin uptake under conditions of sufficient cobalt supply. While the general function is comparable, the specific function of the two genes differs and mutants thereof show distinct phenotypes. The uptake of cobalamin depends further on the TonB and a BtuFCD machinery, as mutants of tonB3 and btuD show reduced cobalamin uptake rates.

The Nickel (Ni2+) receptor (FrpB4; Hp1512) of 877 aas. Energized by the TonB/ExbBD complex (Schauer et al., 2007). Capable of binding both haem and haemoglobin but shows greater affinity for haem. The mRNA levels of frpB1 were repressed by iron and lightly modulated by haem or haemoglobin. Overexpression of the frpB1 gene supported cellular growth when haem or haemoglobin were supplied as the only iron source (Carrizo-Chávez et al. 2012).
