Chaperone-assisted cryo-EM structure of P. aeruginosa PhuR reveals molecular basis for heme uptake

Paweł P Knejski, Satchal K Erramilli, Anthony A Kossiakoff

bioRxiv. 2023 Aug 1:2023.08.01.551527.

PMID: 37577460 PMCID: PMC10418163 DOI: 10.1101/2023.08.01.551527

Pathogenic bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa , depend on scavenging heme for the acquisition of iron, an essential nutrient. The TonB-dependent transporter (TBDT) PhuR is the major heme uptake protein in P. aeruginosa clinical isolates. However, a comprehensive understanding …
