Biophysical Heme Binding Studies of Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Streptococcus pyogenes
Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria utilize cell-surface anchored proteins to bind and transport heme into the cell. These bacteria acquire iron from host proteins containing heme e.g., hemoglobin. Proteins like HmuT from Corynebacterium diphtheriae bind and help transport heme into the cell. Residues...
