Funded Activity Summary

Molecular pumps and metabolism: regulatory interactions that control metal uptake and metabolism in bacteria. ABC (ATP-Binding Cassette) transporters are ubiquitous pumps that transport small molecules into and out of cells. This project investigates the novel roles of small-molecule-binding domains in the protein machine that drives the transporters for molybdenum and iron. They are predicted to interact with regulatory proteins and integrate transport with metabolism. It will provide insights into metal trafficking and characterize gene regulatory networks that are important for bacterial pathogenicity and biological nitrogen fixation.
