Functional and structural characterization of an ECF-type ABC transporter for vitamin B12 [PDF]
eLife, 2018 Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is the most complex B-type vitamin and is synthetized exclusively in a limited number of prokaryotes. Its biologically active variants contain rare organometallic bonds, which are used by enzymes in a variety of central metabolic ...

Expulsion mechanism of the substrate-translocating subunit in ECF transporters [PDF]
, 2023 Energy-coupling factor (ECF)-type transporters mediate the uptake of micronutrients in many bacteria. They consist of a substrate-translocating subunit (S-component) and an ATP-hydrolysing motor (ECF module) Previous data indicate that the S-component ...

Definition of the σW regulon of Bacillus subtilis in the absence of stress [PDF]
, 2012 Bacteria employ extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factors for their responses to environmental stresses. Despite intensive research, the molecular dissection of ECF sigma factor regulons has remained a major challenge due to overlaps in the ECF sigma

Umfassende phylogenetische Untersuchung von ECF-Sigma-Faktoren
, 2021 Extracytoplasmic function (ECF) σ factors are the most minimalistic member of the σ70 family. ECFs and their activity regulators are one of the main signal transduction mechanisms that allow bacteria to respond to extracellular changes.
