Characterization of hemin-binding protein 35 (HBP35) in <it>Porphyromonas gingivalis</it>: its cellular distribution, thioredoxin activity and role in heme utilization
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The periodontal pathogen <it>Porphyromonas gingivalis </it>is an obligate anaerobe that requires heme for growth. To understand its heme acquisition mechanism, we focused on a hemin-binding protein (HBP35 protein), posses...
