High impact information on fepC

In vitro transcription-translation analysis identified polypeptides of 30 and 35 kDa encoded by fepC and fes, respectively [1].
It is proposed that these newly identified genes, fepD and fepE, provide functions which act in conjunction with the fepC product to form the ferric enterobactin-specific cytoplasmic membrane permease [2].
Minicell, maxicell, and in vitro DNA-directed protein synthesizing systems were used to identify the fepB and fepC products [3].
The deletions, all of which eliminated approximately the left half of the enterobactin gene cluster, extended from the vicinity of the fepC gene counterclockwise into the chromosome [4].
