Rationale: # Specifically important in nitrogen source L-Lysine; nitrogen source L-tyrosine disodium salt. Echvi_4215 is an outer membrane lipoprotein that has very similar phenotypes as an adjacent TonB-dependent receptor (Echvi_4214). Jackhmmer searches found that Echvi_4215 is distantly related to DUF4374; both Echvi_4215 and DUF4374 have conserved proximity to TonB-dependent receptors. Echvi_4215 and relatd proteins are probably accessory proteins for uptake, analagous to the SusD family, but not homolgous. (SusD-like proteins are not found in proximity to Echvi_4214 or its homologs.)
