Direct heme transfer reactions in the Group A Streptococcus heme acquisition pathway.

Direct heme transfer reactions in the Group A Streptococcus heme acquisition pathway.

The heme acquisition machinery in Group A Streptococcus (GAS) consists of the surface proteins Shr and Shp and ATP-binding cassette transporter HtsABC. Shp cannot directly acquire heme from methemoglobin (metHb) but directly transfers its heme to HtsA. It has not been previously determined whether S...
