Identification of functionally important regions of a haemoglobin receptor from Neisseria meningitidis
Abstract
The HmbR outer-membrane receptor enables Neisseria meningitidis to use haemoglobin (Hb) as a source of iron. This protein functions by binding Hb, removing haem from it, and releasing the haem into the periplasm. Functionally important HmbR receptor domains were discerned using a series of HmbR deletions and site-directed mutations. Mutations exhibiting similar defective phenotypes in N. meningitidis fell into two groups. The first group of...
