In <i>Vibrio cholerae</i>, the transport system requires three proteins: the small cytosolic proteins FeoA and FeoC and a large cytoplasmic-membrane-associated protein FeoB, which has an N-terminal G-protein domain. We show that, in contrast to <i>Escherichia coli</i> FeoB, which is solely a GTPase, the <i>V. cholerae</i> and <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> ...[more]
