ABSTRACT

The reaction mechanism of BtuCD-F-catalyzed vitamin B12 transport into Escherichia coli is currently unclear. Here we present the structure of the last missing state in the form of AMP-PNP-bound BtuCD, trapped by a disulfide cross-link. Our structural and biochemical data allow a consistent mechanism to be formulated, thus rationalizing the roles of substrate, ATP and substrate-binding protein.
