YeeD is an essential partner for YeeE-mediated thiosulfate uptake in bacteria and regulates thiosulfate ion decomposition
YeeE is a bacterial membrane protein that mediates thiosulfate uptake, but whether it acts alone it is unclear. This study identifies YeeD as a necessary partner of YeeE, characterizing the cooperation of the two proteins -which is based on the thiosulfate ion decomposition activity of YeeD- at both structural and functional levels.
