Non-heme-binding domains and segments of the Staphylococcus aureus IsdB protein critically contribute to the kinetics and equilibrium of heme acquisition from methemoglobin.
The hemoglobin receptor IsdB rapidly acquires heme from methemoglobin (metHb) in the heme acquisition pathway of Staphylococcus aureus. IsdB consists of N-terminal segment (NS), NEAT1 (N1), middle (MD), and heme binding NEAT2 (N2) domains, and C-terminal segment (CS). This study aims to elucidate th...
