ABSTRACT A 7.5-kbp fragment of chromosomal DNA downstream of theVibrio cholerae vibriobactin outer membrane receptor,viuA, and the vibriobactin utilization gene,viuB, was recovered from a Sau3A lambda library of O395 chromosomal DNA. By analogy with the genetic organization of the Escherichia coli enterobactin gene cluster, in which the enterobactin biosynthetic and transport genes lie adjacent to the enterobactin outer membrane receptor, fepA, and the utilization gene, fes, the cloned DNA was examined for the ability to restore siderophore synthesis to E. coli entmutants. Cross-feeding studies demonstrated that an E. coli entF mutant complemented with the cloned DNA regained the ability to synthesize enterobactin and to grow in low-iron medium. Sequence analysis of the cloned chromosomal DNA revealed an open reading frame downstream of viuB which encoded a deduced protein of greater than 2,158 amino acids, homologous to Yersinia sp. HMWP2, Vibrio anguillarum AngR, and E. coliEntF. A mutant with an in-frame deletion of this gene, namedvibF, was created with classical V. choleraestrain O395 by in vivo marker exchange. In cross-feeding studies, this mutant was unable to synthesize ferric vibriobactin but was able to utilize exogenous siderophore. Complementation of the mutant with a cloned vibF fragment restored vibriobactin synthesis to normal. The expression of the vibF promoter was found to be negatively regulated by iron at the transcriptional level, under the control of the V. cholerae fur gene. Expression ofvibF was not autoregulatory and neither affected nor was affected by the expression of irgA or viuA. The promoter of vibF was located by primer extension and was found to contain a dyad symmetric nucleotide sequence highly homologous to the E. coli Fur binding consensus sequence. A footprint of purified V. cholerae Fur on the vibFpromoter, overlapping the Fur binding consensus sequence, was observed using DNase I footprinting. The protein product of vibF is homologous to the multifunctional nonribosomal protein synthetases and is necessary for the biosynthesis of vibriobactin.

Low Molecular Weight Iron

Bacteria are able to survive in low-iron environments by sequestering this metal ion from iron-containing proteins and other biomolecules such as transferrin, lactoferrin, heme, hemoglobin, or other heme-containing proteins. In addition, many bacteria secrete specific low molecular weight iron chelators termed siderophores. These iron sources are transported into the Gram-negative bacterial cell through an outer membrane receptor, a periplasmic binding protein (PBP), and an inner membrane ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter. In different strains the outer membrane receptors can bind and transport ferric siderophores, heme, or Fe3+ as well as vitamin B12, nickel complexes, and carbohydrates. The energy that is required for the active transport of these substrates through the outer membrane receptor is provided by the TonB/ExbB/ExbD complex, which is located in the cytoplasmic membrane. In this minireview, we will briefly examine the three-dimensional structure of TonB and the current models for the mechanism of TonB-dependent energy transduction. Additionally, the role of TonB in colicin transport will be discussed.

Biophysical Studies

Various biochemical and biophysical studies have demonstrated the existence of a novel iron-uptake mechanism in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, different from that generally described for ferrichrome and ferric-enterobactin in Escherichia coli. This new iron-uptake mechanism involves all the proteins generally reported to be involved in the uptake of ferric-siderophore complexes in Gram-negative bacteria (i.e. the outer membrane receptor, periplasmic binding protein and ATP-binding-cassette transporter), but differs in the behaviour of the siderophore. One of the key features of this process is the binding of iron-free pyoverdin to the outer membrane receptor FpvA in conditions of iron deficiency.
