Protein Family Models

This family includes proteins annotated as TonB dependent receptors. But it is also likely to contain other membrane beta barrel proteins of other functions. (from Pfam)

This is a short domain found at the N-terminus of the Secretins of the bacterial type II/III secretory system as well as the TonB-dependent receptor proteins. These proteins are involved in TonB-dependent active uptake of selective substrates. (from Pfam)

The Plug domain has been shown to be an independently folding subunit of the TonB-dependent receptors ([1]). It acts as the channel gate, blocking the pore until the channel is bound by ligand. At this point it under goes conformational changes opens the channel. [1]. 15111112. The plug domain of a neisserial TonB-dependent transporter retains structural integrity in the absence of its transmembrane beta-barrel.

This subfamily model encompasses a wide variety of TonB-dependent outer membrane siderophore receptors. It has no overlap with TonB receptors known to transport other substances, but is likely incomplete due to lack of characterizations. It is likely that genuine siderophore receptors will be identified which score below the noise cutoff to this model at which point the model should be updated.
