Abstract
To elucidate the heme acquisition system in pathogenic bacteria, we investigated the heme-binding properties of the third NEAT domain of IsdH (IsdH-NEAT3), a receptor for heme located on the surfaces of pathogenic bacterial cells, by using x-ray crystallography, isothermal titration calorimetry, examination of absorbance spectra, mutation analysis, size-exclusion chromatography, and analytical ultracentrifugation. We found the following: 1) IsdH-NEAT3 can bind with multiple heme molecules by two modes; 2) heme was bound at the surface of IsdH-NEAT3; 3) candidate residues proposed from the crystal structure were not essential for binding with heme; and 4) IsdH-NEAT3 was associated into a multimeric heme complex by the addition of excess heme. From these observations, we propose a heme-binding mechanism for IsdH-NEAT3 that involves multimerization and discuss the biological importance of this mechanism.
Figure 4.
Comparison of residues around heme. A, IsdH-NEAT3. B, IsdA-NEAT (Protein Data Bank code 2ITF). C, IsdC-NEAT (Protein Data Bank code 2O6P). The bound heme molecules are shown as sticks, with pink carbons; the heme irons appear as orange balls. Residues coordinating heme iron and located around the heme are also shown as sticks; their carbons are shown as green.
