Yersinia pestis YbtU and YbtT are involved in synthesis of the siderophore yersiniabactin but have different effects on regulation.

Infection and immunity - 1 Aug 2000

Geoffroy V A, Fetherston J D, Perry R D

Abstract excerpt

One prerequisite for the virulence of Yersinia pestis, causative agent of bubonic plague, is the yersiniabactin (Ybt) siderophore-dependent iron transport system that is encoded within a high-pathogenicity island (HPI) within the pgm locus of the Y. pestis chromosome. Several gene products within the HPI have demonstrated functions in the synthesis or transport of Ybt. Here we examine the roles of ybtU and ybtT....
