An Exposed Outer Membrane Hemin-Binding Protein Facilitates Hemin Transport by a TonB-Dependent Receptor in Riemerella anatipestifer
Abstract
Iron is an essential element for the replication of most bacteria, including Riemerella anatipestifer, a Gram-negative bacterial pathogen of ducks and other birds. R. anatipestifer utilizes hemoglobin-derived hemin as an iron source; however, the mechanism by which this bacterium acquires hemin from hemoglobin is largely unknown. Here, rhuA disruption was shown to impair iron utilization from duck hemoglobin in R. anatipestifer CH-1. Moreover,...
