Welte Crystal structure of a 92-residue C-terminal fragment of TonB from Escherichia coli reveals significant conformational changes compared to structures of smaller TonB fragments J Biol Chem 280 2005 3022 3028 The crystal structure of a 92-residue C-terminal TonB construct is presented. The construct is monomeric in solution. Interestingly, the crystal structure is a dimer. However, the structures of the individual TonB monomers, as well as the dimer interface, are significantly different from those seen in the short C-terminal TonB construct structure [19]. Specifically, the dimer interface of the longer construct is a short domain-swapped β strand at the C terminus.

Wiener Comparative structural analysis of TonB-dependent outer membrane transporters: implications for the transport cycle Proteins 59 2005 240 251 This paper presents a detailed structural comparison and analysis of the four TBDT structures (FhuA, FepA, FecA and BtuB) available at that time (FpvA has since been determined [10]). The results of this paper include: identification of highly conserved structural motifs in TBDTs, hypotheses about the possible mechanistic roles of these conserved motifs and analysis of the hatch-barrel interfaces in TBDT structures. This interface analysis suggests that the hatch domains are extensively hydrated within the β barrel by water molecules with excess hydrogen-bonding capacity. The implication of this result is that this 'water bushing' reduces the energetic barrier of perturbing the hatch-barrel interface during the transport cycle. That is to say, substantial conformational change or partial/full removal of the hatch from the barrel during the transport cycle is not prohibited by properties of the hatch-barrel interface. Lastly, similarities between the hatch domains (four-stranded β-sheet core) and proteins used in single-molecule unfolding studies are noted, with the hypothesis that only very modest force exerted by TonB upon the hatch domain may suffice to cause substantial conformational change or unfolding.
