Receptors for endogenous and heterogenous hydroxamate siderophores in Staphylococcus aureus B 471.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Staphylococcus aureus B47 grown in iron-restricted medium, six new, iron-regulated proteins occurred in cytoplasmic membrane. Protein of 14kDa has bound two complexes of iron: Fe(III)-staphylobactin and Fe(III)-acinetoferrin. Complexes of Fe(llI)-ferrichrome and Fe(III)-rhodotorulic acid were not bound to any of new membrane protein. Iron of Fe(III)-staphylobactin and Fe(IIl)-acinetoferrin complexes was transported into the cells.

Structural and functional characterization of the Staphylococcus aureus virulence factor and vaccine candidate FhuD2.
Staphylococcus aureus is a human pathogen causing globally significant morbidity and mortality. The development of antibiotic resistance in S. aureus highlights the need for a preventive vaccine. In the present paper we explore the structure and function of FhuD2 (ferric-hydroxamate uptake D2), a staphylococcal surface lipoprotein mediating iron uptake during invasive infection, recently descri...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of the iron-hydroxamate uptake system in Staphylococcus aureus.
To investigate iron uptake, a chromosomal locus containing three consecutive open reading frames, designated fhuC, fhuB, and fhuD, was identified in Staphylococcus aureus. Whereas the fhuC gene encodes an ATP-binding protein, fhuB and fhuD code for ferrichrome permeases and thus resemble an ATP-binding cassette transporter. A fhuB knockout mutant showed impaired uptake of iron bound to the side...
متن کاملThe heterologous siderophores ferrioxamine B and ferrichrome activate signaling pathways in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes two siderophores, pyoverdine and pyochelin, under iron-limiting conditions. These siderophores are recognized at the cell surface by specific outer membrane receptors, also known as TonB-dependent receptors. In addition, this bacterium is also able to incorporate many heterologous siderophores of bacterial or fungal origin, which is reflected by the presence of 3...
متن کاملChemical Characterization of Siderophores
Siderophores are divided to 2 main structural groups: hydroxamates and catecholates (Drechsel et al. 1995). Hydroxamate siderophores are produced both by bacteria and fungi, while catecholates are reported to the produced only by bacteria (Messenger and Ratledge, 1985). A third group of siderophores the carboxylate (= complexone) type has been reported to be produced exclusively by fungi belong...
متن کاملPurification and Structural Characterization of Siderophore (Corynebactin) from Corynebacterium diphtheriae
During infection, Corynebacterium diphtheriae must compete with host iron-sequestering mechanisms for iron. C. diphtheriae can acquire iron by a siderophore-dependent iron-uptake pathway, by uptake and degradation of heme, or both. Previous studies showed that production of siderophore (corynebactin) by C. diphtheriae is repressed under high-iron growth conditions by the iron-activated diphther...
