  • Ultrahigh-affinity transport proteins from ubiquitous marine bacteria reveal mechanisms and global patterns of nutrient uptake

    • Authors : Clifton, Ben E. (2023)

  • SAR11 bacteria are the most abundant members of the global ocean microbiome and have a broad impact on ocean ecosystems. To thrive in their competitive oligotrophic environments, these bacteria rely on solute-binding proteins (SBPs) that facilitate nutrient uptake through ABC transporters. Nonetheless, previous studies have been unable to access the molecular mechanisms and functions of these transporters because they rely heavily on homology-based p...
