FhuA, a transporter of the Escherichia coli outer membrane, is converted into a channel upon binding of bacteriophage T5
The Escherichia coli outer membrane protein FhuA catalyzes the transport of Fe3+(‐)ferrichrome and is the receptor of phage T5 and phi 80. The purified protein inserted into planar lipid bilayers showed no channel activity. Binding of phage T5 and FhuA resulted in the appearance of high conductance...
