A bacterial iron exporter for maintenance of iron homeostasis.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 6 Jun 2014

Abstract excerpt

Nutritional iron acquisition by bacteria is well described, but almost nothing is known about bacterial iron export even though it is likely to be an important homeostatic mechanism. Here, we show that Bradyrhizobium japonicum MbfA (Blr7895) is an inner membrane protein expressed in cells specifically under high iron conditions. MbfA contains an N-terminal ferritin-like domain (FLD) and a C-terminal domain...
