Pyochelin is a siderophore and virulence factor common to Burkholderia cepacia and several Pseudomonas strains. We describe at 2.0 angstrom resolution the crystal structure of the pyochelin outer membrane receptor FptA bound to the iron-pyochelin isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. One pyochelin molecule bound to iron is found in the protein structure, providing the first three-dimensional structure at the atomic level of this siderophore. The pyochelin molecule provides a tetra-dentate coordination of iron, while the remaining bi-dentate coordination is ensured by another molecule not specifically recognized by the protein. The overall structure of the pyochelin receptor is typical of the TonB-dependent transporter superfamily, which uses the proton motive force from the cytoplasmic membrane through the TonB-ExbB-ExbD energy transducing complex to transport ferric ions across the bacterial outer membrane: a transmembrane 22 beta-stranded barrel occluded by a N-terminal domain that contains a mixed four-stranded beta-sheet. The N-terminal TonB box is disordered in two crystal forms, and loop L8 is found to point towards the iron-pyochelin complex, suggesting that the receptor is in a transport-competent conformation.
