Anchor Peptide of Transferrin-binding Protein B Is Required for Interaction with Transferrin-binding Protein A [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011 Gram-negative bacterial pathogens belonging to the Pasteurellaceae, Moraxellaceae, and Neisseriaceae families rely on an iron acquisition system that acquires iron directly from host transferrin (Tf). The process is mediated by a surface receptor composed of transferrin-binding proteins A and B (TbpA and TbpB).

Structural Variations within the Transferrin Binding Site on Transferrin-binding Protein B, TbpB [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011 Pathogenic bacteria acquire the essential element iron through specialized uptake pathways that are necessary in the iron-limiting environments of the host. Members of the Gram-negative Neisseriaceae and Pasteurellaceae families have adapted to acquire iron from the host iron binding glycoprotein, transferrin (Tf), through a receptor complex comprised ...

Identification of human transferrin-binding sites within meningococcal transferrin-binding protein B [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1997 Transferrin-binding protein B (TbpB) from Neisseria meningitidis binds human transferrin (hTf) at the surface of the bacterial cell as part of the iron uptake process. To identify hTf binding sites within the meningococcal TbpB, defined regions of the molecule were produced in Escherichia coli by a translational fusion expression system and the ability

Iron-Induced Oxidative Stress in Human Diseases
Cells, 2022 Iron is responsible for the regulation of several cell functions. However, iron ions are catalytic and dangerous for cells, so the cells sequester such redox-active irons in the transport and storage proteins.

An insight into the changes in human plasma proteome on adaptation to hypobaric hypoxia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Adaptation to hypobaric hypoxia is required by animals and human in several physiological and pathological situations. Hypobaric hypoxia is a pathophysiological condition triggering redox status disturbances of cell organization leading, via oxidative ...
