Abstract excerpt
Ferric-binding proteins (FbpA) have been implicated in the transferrin receptor-mediated iron acquisition pathways of Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria spp. These proteins are believed to function by shuttling iron from outer membrane transferrin receptors to a specific inner membrane permease complex. However, the role of these proteins has not been conclusively resolved, as attempts at creating isogenic...
