| - | ''Helicobacter pylori'' ('' | + | ''Helicobacter pylori'' (''H.pylori'') is a class I human pathogen that is involved in causing gastric ulcers and stomach cancers. Its two nickel dependent enzymes - Urease and NiFe-H2ase, provides it a unique ability to survive and colonize in acidic human stomach. Urease catalyzes the conversion of urea to ammonia and carbamate which neutralizes its local acidic environment. Several accessory proteins play a crucial role in the maturation of Urease. UreE is urease-specific Nickel metallochaperone that is involved in the delivery nickel to urease. |
