9.A.8.1.1
Ferrous iron uptake system, FeoAB.  FeoB is the main transporter while FeoC is a transcriptional regulator.  FeoA has a Src-Homology (SH3) domain (a β-barrel with two overlying α-helices) plus two extra α-helices not usually found in SH3 domains.  FeoA interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of the conserved core portion of the FeoB transmembrane region, but may not function as a GTPase activator as previously proposed (Lau et al. 2012).   FeoB transports Fe(II) from the periplasm to the cytoplasm, but the C-terminal domain can also bind Mn2+ and Zn2+ as well (Orzel et al. 2023).
