1.B.14.1.1
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).
