FtnA is the major iron‐storage protein of Escherichia coli accounting for≤ 50% of total
cellular iron. The FtnA gene (ftnA) is induced by iron in an Fe2+–Fur‐dependent fashion …

Little is known about Zn homeostasis in Yersinia pestis, the plague bacillus. The Znu ABC
transporter is essential for zinc (Zn) uptake and virulence in a number of bacterial …

Abstract The EfeUOB system of Escherichia coli is a tripartite, low pH, ferrous iron
transporter. It resembles the high-affinity iron transporter (Ftr1p-Fet3p) of yeast in that EfeU is …

Background The continuing emergence of antimicrobial resistance requires the
development of new compounds and/or enhancers of existing compounds. Genes that …

Proteins that reside partially or completely outside the bacterial cytoplasm require
specialized pathways to facilitate their localization. Globular proteins that function in the …

Although Yersinia pestis epidemic biovars and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis are recently
diverged, highly related species, they cause different diseases via disparate transmission …

Campylobacter jejuni, a major cause of acute bacterial diarrhea in humans, expresses
numerous proteins to import diverse forms of essential iron. The expression of p19 and an …

Abstract Background The Gram-negative bacterium Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of
the bubonic plague. Efficient iron acquisition systems are critical to the ability of Y. pestis to …

The EfeM protein is a component of the putative EfeUOBM iron-transporter of Pseudomonas
syringae pathovar syringae and is thought to act as a periplasmic, ferrous-iron binding …
