STRUCTURE OF THE HAEM-CHAPERONE PROTEOBACTERIA-PROTEIN HEMS

Overview

Bacteria rely on their environment and/or host to acquire iron and have, evolved specialized systems to sequester and transport heme. The heme, uptake system HemRSTUV is common to proteobacteria, and a major challenge, is to understand the molecular mechanism of heme binding and transfer, between the protein molecules that underlie this heme transport relay, process. In the Gram-negative pathogen Yersinia enterocolitica, the, HemRSTUV system culminates with the cytoplasmic recipient HemS, which, stores and delivers heme for cellular needs. HemS belongs to a family of, proteins essential and unique to proteobacteria. Here we report on the, binding mechanism of HemS based on structural data from its apo- and, ligand-loaded forms. This heme carrier protein associates with its cargo, through ... [(full description)]
