Reaction: ATP + H2O + Fe3+-hydroxamate complex-[hydroxamate-binding protein][side 1] = ADP + phosphate + Fe3+-hydroxamate complex[side 2] + [hydroxamate-binding protein][side 1]
Other name(s): iron(III) hydroxamate transporting ATPase; iron(III) hydroxamate ABC transporter; fhuCDB (gene names)
Systematic name: ATP phosphohydrolase [ABC-type, iron(III) hydroxamate-importing]
Comments: An ATP-binding cassette (ABC) type transporter, characterized by the presence of two similar ATP-binding domains/proteins and two integral membrane domains/proteins. A bacterial enzyme that interacts with an extracytoplasmic substrate binding protein and mediates the import of Fe3+-complexed hydroxamate siderophores such as coprogen, ferrichrome and the ferric hydroxamate antibiotic, albomycin.
