Abstract excerpt
The Yersinia enterocolitica O:8 periplasmic binding-protein-dependent transport (PBT) system for haemin was cloned and characterized. It consisted of four proteins: the periplasmic haemin-binding protein HemT, the haemin permease protein HemU, the ATP-binding hydrophilic protein HemV and the putative haemin-degrading protein HemS. Y. enterocolitica strains mutated in hemU or hemV genes were unable to use haemin...
