The products of the btuCED region of the Escherichia coli chromosome participate in the transport of vitamin B12 across the cytoplasmic membrane. The nucleotide sequence of the 3,410-base-pair HindIII-HincII DNA fragment carrying a portion of the himA gene and the entire btuCED region was determined. Comparison of the location of the open reading frames with the gene boundaries defined by transposon insertions allowed the assignment of polypeptide products to gene sequences. The btuC product is a highly nonpolar integral membrane protein of molecular weight 31,683. The distribution of hydrophobic regions suggests the presence of numerous membrane-spanning domains. The btuD product is a relatively polar but membrane-associated polypeptide of Mr 27,088 and contains segments bearing extensive homology to the ATP-binding peripheral membrane constituents of periplasmic binding protein-dependent transport systems. Other regions of this protein are similar to portions of the outer membrane vitamin B12 receptor. The btuE product (Mr 20,474) appears to have a periplasmic location. It has the mean hydropathy of a soluble protein but lacks an obvious signal sequence. The cellular locations and structural and sequence homologies of the Btu polypeptides point to the similarity of these three proteins to components of binding protein-dependent transport systems. However, the dependence on a periplasmic vitamin B12-binding protein has not yet been demonstrated.
