Insights into the bacterial transferrin receptor: the structure of transferrin-binding protein B from Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae. Mol.Cell, 35:523-533, 2009 Cited by PubMed Abstract: Pathogenic bacteria from the Neisseriaceae and Pasteurellacea families acquire iron directly from the host iron-binding glycoprotein, transferrin (Tf), in a process mediated by surface receptor proteins that directly bind host Tf, extract the iron, and transport it across the outer membrane. The bacterial Tf receptor is comprised of a surface exposed lipoprotein, Tf-binding protein B (TbpB), and an integral outer-membrane protein, Tf-binding protein A (TbpA), both of which are essential for survival in the host. In this study, we report the 1.98 A resolution structure of TbpB from the porcine pathogen Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, providing insights into the mechanism of Tf binding and the role of TbpB. A model for the complex of TbpB bound to Tf is proposed. Mutation of a single surface-exposed Phe residue on TbpB within the predicted interface completely abolishes binding to Tf, suggesting that the TbpB N lobe comprises the sole high-affinity binding region for Tf.
