Characterization of Heme Uptake Proteins; HtaB, ChtB, and ChtA from Corynebacterium Diphtheriae Approaches to the Reaction of Dechloromonas Aromatica Chlorite Dismutase with Nitrite [PDF]
, 2022 Heme is a source of iron for many pathogenic bacteria. Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the first protein in the system is HtaA, ChtA, and/or ChtC; heme is transferred to HtaB or ChtB. Heme is then mobilized into the cytosol by the ABC transporter where iron

Unraveling the active site cover of coproheme decarboxylase from Listeria monocytogenes
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.During heme biosynthesis in Gram‐positive bacteria, coproheme decarboxylase (ChdC) catalyzes the conversion of four‐propionate substrate coproheme to the two propionate product heme b. Its active site is universally covered by a flexible linking loop. This study identifies an important histidine residue, which stabilizes the loop in a ChdC homolog.

Image_2_Distinct Genomic Features Characterize Two Clades of Corynebacterium diphtheriae: Proposal of Corynebacterium diphtheriae Subsp. diphtheriae Subsp. nov. and Corynebacterium diphtheriae Subsp. lausannense Subsp. nov..TIFF [PDF]
, 2018 Corynebacterium diphtheriae is the etiological agent of diphtheria, a disease caused by the presence of the diphtheria toxin. However, an increasing number of records report non-toxigenic C. diphtheriae infections. Here, a C.

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction
PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 8, Page 9-28, August 2026.ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.

Interplay Between Infectious Diseases and the Endocrine System: An Overview and Clinical Insights
Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.Infectious diseases can disrupt endocrine homeostasis through direct cytopathic injury, autoimmune dysregulation, or pathogen‐derived hormone‐like effects. Viruses and bacteria are the most frequent agents, whereas fungi and parasites contribute less commonly, even remaining clinically relevant, especially in the immunocompromised population.

Non-toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae endocarditis: A cluster of five cases
Southern African Journal of Infectious DiseasesBackground: Classical toxin-mediated respiratory diphtheria has become less common because of widespread effective vaccination globally but invasive disease as a result of non-toxigenic strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae is not prevented by ...
