Abstract: To acquire heme, Porphyromonas gingivalis uses a hemophore-like protein (HmuY). HmuY sequesters heme from host hemoproteins or heme-binding proteins produced by cohabiting bacteria, and delivers it to the TonB-dependent outer-membrane receptor (HmuR). Although three-dimensional protein… read more here.
