Hijacking transferrin bound iron: protein-receptor interactions essential for iron transport in N. gonorrhoeae

Neisseria gonorrhoeae has the capacity to acquire iron from its human host by removing this essential nutrient from serum transferrin. The transferrin binding proteins, TbpA and TbpB constitute the outer membrane receptor complex responsible for binding transferrin, extracting the tightly bound iron...
