Expression and purification of the intact bacterial ergothioneine transporter EgtU The bacterial ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter EgtU is responsible for uptake of the cellular antioxidant ergothioneine in Streptococcus pneumon…

Drs. @betainverse.bsky.social and Diaz-Rodriguez purified EgtU, an ABC transporter that imports ergothioneine into bacterial cells, paving the way for structural and functional studies of uptake systems in S. pneumoniae and other pathogens. Kudos to the team! #BacterialTransporters shorturl.at/AUPTJ
