Transport of haemin across the cytoplasmic membrane through a haemin‐specific periplasmic binding‐protein‐dependent transport system in Yersinia enterocolitica

Summary The Yersinia enterocolitica O:8 periplasmic binding‐protein‐dependent transport (PBT) system for haemin was cloned and characterized. It consisted of four proteins: the periplasmic haemin‐binding protein HemT, the haemin permease protein HemU, the ATP‐binding hydrophilic protein HemV and …
