Superinfection exclusion is a widespread viral mechanism that protects the infected cell from over infection by other, identical or closely related viruses. Shortly after infection by bac-teriophage T5, the bacterium E. coli produces Llp coded by the just injected viral genome. Llp is a small lipoprotein targeted to the inner-leaflet of the host outer-membrane. It binds to FhuA, an outer-membrane iron-ferrichrome transporter, which is T5 receptor at the E. coli cell surface. The interaction between Llp and FhuA prevents any further bacteriophage binding and infection. Here, we determined the RMN structure of Llp and analyse the formation of the FhuA:Llp complex using a wide range of techniques and mutants, both in vivo and in vitro. Interaction of Llp to FhuA is governed by a two-step equilibrium with a strong contribution of induced fit: Llp binding requires remodelling of FhuA periplasmic plug surface, allowing the further large conformational reorganisation of the extracellular loops. Analysis of FhuA mu-tants show the importance of the intertwined interactions between the extracellular loops and the plug in the communication between the periplasmic and the extracellular faces of FhuA.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
