An outer membrane preparation from cells of Escherichia coli K-12 grown in low iron medium was found to retain ferric enterobactin binding activity following solubilization in a Tris-HCl, Na2EDTA buffer containing Triton X-100. Activity was measured by means of a DEAE-cellulose column which separated free and receptor bound ferric enterobactin. The binding activity was greatly reduced in preparations obtained from cells grown in iron rich media or from cells of a colicin B resistant mutant grown in either high or low iron media. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis enabled correlation of this lack of activity to a single band missing in the outer membrane profile of the colicin B mutant. Evidence was obtained for in vitro competition between ferric enterobactin and colicin B for the extracted receptor. The binding specificity of the extracted receptor was examined by competition between ferric enterobactin and several iron chelates including a carbocyclic analogue of enterobactin, cis-1,5,9-tris(2,3-dihydroxybenzamido)cyclododecane. The ferric form of the latter compound supported growth of siderophore auxotrophs, apparently without hydrolysis to dihydroxybenzoic acid and resynthesis into enterobactin. These data may require revision of the accepted mechanism of enterobactin mediated iron utilization.
