HtaA Is an Iron-Regulated Hemin Binding Protein Involved in the Utilization of Heme Iron in Corynebacterium diphtheriae

7 Feb 2009

Abstract excerpt

Many human pathogens, including Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the causative agent of diphtheria, use host compounds such as heme and hemoglobin as essential iron sources. In this study, we examined the Corynebacterium hmu hemin transport region, a genetic cluster that contains the hmuTUV genes encoding a previously described ABC-type hemin transporter and three additional genes, which we have designated htaA,...
