Abstract
The iroA gene product is an iron limitation-inducible outer membrane protein of Neisseria meningitidis. A spontaneous mutant lacking the gene was unable to bind lactoferrin. Furthermore, Escherichia coli strains expressing the IroA protein were capable of binding lactoferrin. Apparently, the IroA protein functions as a lactoferrin receptor.Entities:
