Description | RhtX from Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 and FptX from Pseudomonas aeruginosa appear to be single polypeptide transporters, from the major facilitator family for import of siderophores as a means to import iron. This function was suggested by proximity to siderophore biosynthesis genes and then confirmed by study of knockout and heterologous expression phenotypes. | Name | Siderophore transporter, RhtX/FptX family |
Short Name | Siderophore_transpt_RhtX/FptX | Type | Family |
