Helicobacter pylori ABC transporter: effect of allelic exchange mutagenesis on urease activity.
Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 1997

Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori urease requires nickel ions in the enzyme active site for catalytic activity. Nickel ions must, therefore, be actively acquired by the bacterium. NixA (high-affinity nickel transport protein)-deficient mutants of H. pylori retain significant urease activity, suggesting the presence of alternate nickel transporters. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the H. pylori genome revealed a homolog...
