The crystal structure of Klebsiella pneumoniae FeoA reveals a site for protein‐protein interactions

Abstract excerpt

Abstract In order to establish infection, pathogenic bacteria must obtain essential nutrients such as iron. Under acidic and/or anaerobic conditions, most bacteria utilize the Feo system in order to acquire ferrous iron (Fe 2+ ) from their host environment. The mechanism of this process, including its regulation, remains poorly understood. In this work, we have determined the crystal structure of FeoA from the...
