Mycobacterium tuberculosis acquires iron by cell-surface sequestration and internalization of human holo-transferrin
Open accessAbstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), which requires iron for survival, acquires this element by synthesizing iron-binding molecules known as siderophores and by recruiting a host iron-transport protein, transferrin, to the phagosome. The siderophores extract iron from transferrin and transport it into the bacterium. Here we describe an additional mechanism for iron acquisition, consisting of an M.tb protein that drives transport of human holo-transferrin into M.tb cells. The pathogenic strain M.tb H37Rv expresses several proteins that can bind human holo-transferrin. One of these proteins is the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH, Rv1436), which is present on the surface of M.tb and its relative Mycobacterium smegmatis. Overexpression of GAPDH results in increased transferrin binding to M.tb cells and iron uptake. Human transferrin is internalized across the mycobacterial cell wall in a GAPDH-dependent manner within infected macrophages.

Mycobacteria acquire iron through multiple avenues including acquisition from transferrin via the endocytic pathway, by directly binding iron-loaded transferrin via specific receptors, by uptake of cytoplasmic iron or heme iron by specific transporters, or by production of siderophores such as mycobactin.
“Mycobacteria acquire iron through multiple avenues including the acquisition of the metal from transferrin via the endocytic pathway, by directly binding iron-loaded transferrin via specific receptors, by uptake of cytoplasmic iron or heme iron by specific transporters, or by the production of siderophores such as mycobactin, which can bind iron and re-utilize the metal (174–177).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
