Binding and surface exposure characteristics of the gonococcal transferrin receptor are dependent on both transferrin-binding proteins.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Mar 1996

Cornelissen C N, Sparling P F

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is capable of iron utilization from human transferrin in a receptor-mediated event. Transferrin-binding protein 1 (Tbp1) and Tbp2 have been implicated in transferrin receptor function, but their specific roles in transferrin binding and transferrin iron utilization have not yet been defined. We utilized specific gonococcal mutants lacking Tbp1 or Tbp2 to assess the relative...
