Molecular basis for the evolution of species-specific hemoglobin capture by pathogenic <i>Staphylococcus</i>

2018-06-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Metals are a limiting resource for pathogenic bacteria and must be scavenged from host proteins. Hemoglobin provides the most abundant source of iron in the human body and is required by several pathogens to cause invasive disease. However, the consequences of hemoglobin evolution for bacterial nutrient acquisition remain unclear. Here we show that the α- and β-globin genes exhibit strikingly pa...
