Acquisition of ionic copper by the bacterial outer membrane protein OprC through a novel binding site. by Satya Prathyusha Bhamidimarri, Tessa R Young, Muralidharan Shanmugam, Sandra Soderholm, Arnaud Baslé, Dirk Bumann, Bert van den Berg

“…In particular, it is still unclear whether and how gram-negative bacteria acquire ionic copper. Here, we show that Pseudomonas aeruginosa OprC is an outer membrane, TonB-dependent transporter that is conserved in many Proteobacteria and which mediates acquisition of both reduced and oxidised ionic copper via an unprecedented CxxxM-HxM metal binding site. …”
