PubMed Abstract: Gallium nitrate (Ganite) is a potential drug for the treatment of infection. CRISPR/Cas9-based gene mutagenesis studies reveal that siderophore pyochelin-facilitated uptake and an ABC transporter are two major Ga internalization pathways in (). Crystal structures reveal that Ga and Fe occupy exactly the same metal site of HitA, a periplasmic iron-binding protein of the ABC transporter system. The study provides a molecular basis for Ga internalization by and facilitates gallium-based antimicrobial drug development.
