<i>Moraxella catarrhalis</i> HemW is a Heme-binding Radical SAM Enzyme

2026-01-25

Abstract excerpt

Moraxella catarrhalis is an emerging human respiratory pathogen responsible for a significant proportion of childhood otitis media and exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Recent transposon sequencing analysis identified yggW (renamed as hemW ), an uncharacterized gene, as essential for M. catarrhalis growth under iron-limiting conditions, mimicking host-imposed nutritional immunity. HemW is...
