THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE SECRETED DIMERIC FORM OF THE HEMOPHORE HASA REVEALS A DOMAIN SWAPPING WITH AN EXCHANGED HEME LIGAND
Overview
To satisfy their iron needs, several Gram-negative bacteria use a heme, uptake system involving an extracellular heme-binding protein called, hemophore. The function of the hemophore is to acquire free or, hemoprotein-bound heme and to transfer it to HasR, its specific outer, membrane receptor, by protein-protein interaction. The hemophore HasA, secreted by Serratia marcescens, an opportunistic pathogen, was the first, to be identified and is now very well characterized. HasA is a monomer, that binds one b heme with strong affinity. The heme in HasA is highly, exposed to solvent and coordinated by an unusual pair of ligands, a, histidine and a tyrosine. Here, we report the identification, the, characterization and the X-ray structure of a dimeric form of HasA from S., marcescens: DHasA. ... [(full description)]
