The Bordetella bhu locus is required for heme iron utilization.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jul 2001

Vanderpool C K, Armstrong S K

Abstract excerpt

Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica are capable of obtaining iron from hemin and hemoglobin. Genes encoding a putative bacterial heme iron acquisition system (bhu, for Bordetella heme utilization) were identified in a B. pertussis genomic sequence database, and the corresponding DNA was isolated from a virulent strain of B. pertussis. A B. pertussis bhuR mutant, predicted to lack the heme outer...
