Staphylococcus aureus FepA and FepB Proteins Drive Heme Iron Utilization in Escherichia coli
EfeUOB-like tripartite systems are widespread in bacteria and in many cases they are encoded by genes organized into iron-regulated operons. They consist of: EfeU, a protein similar to the yeast iron permease Ftrp1; EfeO, an extracytoplasmic protein of unknown function and EfeB, also an extracytoplasmic protein with heme peroxidase activity, belonging to the DyP family. Many bacterial EfeUOB sy...
متن کاملSpecific Markers of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli VBNC in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background and purpose: Recent studies suggest that the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) bacteria could cause inflammatory diseases. The aim of this study was to detect and investigate the expression of nuc and rfbE genes in blood samples of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 102 blood samples were collected from patients with RA and univ...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus IsdB is a hemoglobin receptor required for heme iron utilization.
The pathogenesis of human infections caused by the gram-positive microbe Staphylococcus aureus has been previously shown to be reliant on the acquisition of iron from host hemoproteins. The iron-regulated surface determinant system (Isd) encodes a heme transport apparatus containing three cell wall-anchored proteins (IsdA, IsdB, and IsdH) that are exposed on the staphylococcal surface and hence...

Materials and Methods Paneer is a tempting, nutritious and delicious indigenous dairy product obtained by acid and heat coagulation of milk. In India, where most people are vegetarian in dietary habits, milk products constitute major source of protein and other essential nutrients. Growing tensed environment and diets rich in fat combined with lack of exercise and physical work are leading to c...
