Cloning and Characterization of tdhA, a Locus Encoding a TonB-Dependent Heme Receptor from Haemophilus ducreyi

Haemophilus ducreyi is unable to synthesize heme and must acquire it from its only known host, humans. We cloned and sequenced a gene encoding an outer membrane receptor for heme. It was designated tdhA (for TonB-dependent heme receptor A) since it was related by sequence homology to the family of T...
