EC 7.2.2.18

Accepted name: ABC-type ferric citrate transporter

Reaction: ATP + H2O + Fe3+-dicitrate-[dicitrate-binding protein][side 1] = ADP + phosphate + Fe3+-dicitrate[side 2] + [dicitrate-binding protein][side 1]

Other name(s): ferric citrate transporting ATPase; ferric citrate ABC transporter; fecBCDE (gene names)

Systematic name: ATP phosphohydrolase (ABC-type, iron(III) dicitrate-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. The enzyme from Escherichia coli interacts with a periplasmic substrate binding protein and mediates the high affinity uptake of Fe3+-citrate in the form of a mononuclear (containing one iron(III) ion and two citrate molecules) or dinuclear (containing 2 iron(III) ions) complexes.
