An outer membrane receptor of Neisseria meningitidis involved in zinc acquisition with vaccine potential.
Since the concentration of free iron in the human host is low, efficient iron-acquisition mechanisms constitute important virulence factors for pathogenic bacteria. In Gram-negative bacteria, TonB-dependent outer membrane receptors are implicated in iron acquisition. It is far less clear how other m...
