Molecular characterization of LbpB, the second lactoferrin‐binding protein of Neisseria meningitidis

Abstract excerpt

The lbpA gene of Neisseria meningitidis encodes an outer membrane lactoferrin-binding protein and shows homology to the transferrin-binding protein, TbpA. Previously, we have detected part of an open reading frame upstream of lbpA. The putative product of this open reading frame, tentatively designated lbpB, showed homology to the transferrin-binding protein TbpB, suggesting that the lactoferrrin receptor, like...
