Siderophore-controlled iron assimilation in the enterobacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi: evidence for the involvement of bacterioferritin and the Suf iron-sulfur cluster assembly machinery.

Abstract excerpt

The intracellular fate of iron acquired by bacteria during siderophore-mediated assimilation is poorly understood. We investigated this question in the pathogenic enterobacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi. This bacterium produces two siderophores, chrysobactin and achromobactin, during plant infection. We analyzed the distribution of iron into cytosolic proteins in bacterial cells supplied with 59Fe-chrysobactin using...
