Unique Properties of Heme Binding of the <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> HmuY Hemophore-like Protein Result from the Evolutionary Adaptation of the Protein Structure
To acquire heme, <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> uses a hemophore-like protein (HmuY). HmuY sequesters heme from host hemoproteins or heme-binding proteins produced by cohabiting bacteria, and delivers it to the TonB-dependent outer-membrane receptor (HmuR). Although three-dimensional pr...
