Abstract excerpt
Brucella is a zoonotic pathogen requiring iron for its survival and acquires this metal through the expression of several high-affinity uptake systems. Of these, the newly discovered ferrous iron transporter, FtrABCD, is proposed to take part in ferrous iron uptake. Sequence homology shows that, FtrA, the proposed periplasmic ferrous-binding component, is a P19-type protein (a periplasmic protein from C. jejuni...
