Here, we present extensive cryo-EM analyses and DEER measurements, revealing that IrtAB alternates between an inward-facing and an outward-occluded conformation, but does not sample an outward-facing conformation. When IrtAB is locked in its outward-occluded conformation in nanodiscs, mycobactin is bound in the middle of the lipid bilayer at a membrane-facing crevice opening at the heterodimeric interface. Mutations introduced at the crevice abrogate mycobactin import and in corresponding structures, the crevice is collapsed. A conserved triple histidine motif coordinating a zinc ion is present below the mycobactin binding site. Substitution of these histidine residues with alanine results in a decoupled transporter, which hydrolyzes ATP, but lost its capacity to import mycobactins. Our data suggest that IrtAB imports mycobactin via a credit-card mechanism in a transport cycle that is coupled to the presence of zinc. | |||||||||||||||
