ATP + H2O + vitamin B12-[cobalamin-binding protein][side 1] = ADP + phosphate + vitamin B12[side 2] + [cobalamin-binding protein][side 1] | the substrate resides in a different place than the BtuF-binding pocket. Upon binding and hydrolysis of ATP, the complex returns to state III. The transporter can cycle multiple times between states III and IV without releasing vitamin B12, resulting in a much higher ATPase rate than transport rate. This cycling is equivalent to the cycling between states I and II in the absence of substrate. Occasionally, a vitamin B12 molecule is released on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane via a proposed intermediate state. When the binding location becomes vacant, a new vitamin B12 molecule is bound rapidly. ATPase activity and transport are uncoupled and ATP hydrolysis is continuously required to (unproductively) reset the transporter | Escherichia coli |

evolution | Escherichia coli vitamin B12 transporter BtuCD-F is a type II importer and belongs to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily | Escherichia coli |
additional information | the homodimer BtuC spans the membrane and the two identical cytosolic ATPase domains BtuD form a sandwich dimer that couple chemical energy of two ATP molecules into structural changes of the full complex. A single substrate-binding protein (SBP) completes the transporter. The SBP belongs to cluster A or class III and exhibits relatively small conformational changes upon substrate binding. Modeling of the transport mechanism of BtuCD-F transporters embedded in lipid bilayers at the single molecule level, overview | Escherichia coli |
physiological function | ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters form the largest class of active membrane transport proteins. Binding and hydrolysis of ATP by their highly conserved nucleotide-binding domains drive conformational changes of the complex that mediate transport of substrate across the membrane. The transporter complex of vitamin B12 importer BtuCD-F from Escherichia coli is consisting of a periplasmic soluble binding protein BtuF that binds the ligand and the transmembrane and ATPase domains BtuCD mediating translocation | Escherichia coli |
