Niobium Uptake and Release by Bacterial Ferric Ion Binding Protein
Ferric ion binding proteins (Fbps) transport Fe(III) across the periplasm and are vital for the virulence of many Gram negative bacteria. Iron(III) is tightly bound in a hinged binding cleft with octahedral coordination geometry involving binding to protein side chains (including tyrosinate residues) together with a synergistic anion such as phosphate. Niobium compounds are of interest for thei...
متن کاملCrystal structure of Pasteurella haemolytica ferric ion-binding protein A reveals a novel class of bacterial iron-binding proteins.
Pasteurellosis caused by the Gram-negative pathogen Pasteurella haemolytica is a serious disease leading to death in cattle. To scavenge growth-limiting iron from the host, the pathogen utilizes the periplasmic ferric ion-binding protein A (PhFbpA) as a component of an ATP-binding cassette transport pathway. We report the 1.2-A structure of the iron-free (apo) form of PhFbpA, which is a member ...
متن کاملSynergistic anion and metal binding to the ferric ion-binding protein from Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
The 34-kDa periplasmic iron-transport protein (FBP) from Neisseria gonorrhoeae (nFBP) contains Fe(III) and (hydrogen)phosphate (synergistic anion). It has a characteristic ligand-to-metal charge-transfer absorption band at 481 nm. Phosphate can be displaced by (bi)carbonate to give Fe.CO(3).nFBP (lambda(max) 459 nm). The local structures of native Fe-PO(4)-nFBP and Fe.CO(3).nFBP were determined...
متن کاملThe influence of the synergistic anion on iron chelation by ferric binding protein, a bacterial transferrin.
Although the presence of an exogenous anion is a requirement for tight Fe(3+) binding by the bacterial (Neisseria) transferrin nFbp, the identity of the exogenous anion is not specific in vitro. nFbp was reconstituted as a stable iron containing protein by using a number of different exogenous anions [arsenate, citrate, nitrilotriacetate, pyrophosphate, and oxalate (symbolized by X)] in additio...
متن کاملMechanistic insights into metal ion activation and operator recognition by the ferric uptake regulator
Ferric uptake regulator (Fur) plays a key role in the iron homeostasis of prokaryotes, such as bacterial pathogens, but the molecular mechanisms and structural basis of Fur-DNA binding remain incompletely understood. Here, we report high-resolution structures of Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1 Fur in four different states: apo-Fur, holo-Fur, the Fur-feoAB1 operator complex and the Fur-Ps...
