摘要

The ability to acquire the essential nutrient iron (Fe) within the human host is an important determinant of microbial pathogenesis. Neisseria meningitidis (NM) is an exclusively human pathogen that exploits multiple strategies to scavenge Fe directly from host carrier proteins. NM expresses a family of two-component Fe transporters dependent on TonB to energize Fe uptake. This study focused on HpuAB, a receptor comprised of a TonB-dependent channel protein (HpuB) and an accessory lipoprotein (HpuA). HpuAB mediates the uptake of heme-Fe from hemoglobin (Hb) and hemoglobin-haptoglobin (HbHp) complexes. This dissertation research characterized HpuAB structure, the role of receptor components, and the interactions of HpuAB with its ligands. Protease accessibility studies support a model in which a large C-terminal domain of HpuA physically interacts with HpuB to form a surface-exposed bipartite complex. The conformation of HpuAB was sensitive to the TonB-mediated energy state of the receptor. We showed that HpuAB binds to seven distinct ligands---Hb, and three structurally distinct phenotypes of apo-Hp and HbHp complexes. Growth assays and measurement of receptor-ligand binding kinetics revealed that HbHp complexes are the preferred ligand of HpuAB. HpuAB exhibited Hp phenotype specificity, binding and utilizing human-specific polymeric 2-2 HbHp more effectively than monomeric 1-1 HbHp. Analysis of isogenic Hpu mutants confirmed that both HpuA and HpuB are required for growth with Hb Fe sources. HpuB expressed alone binds with reduced capacity to Hb and with impaired affinity to all Hp and HbHp types. Despite being required for heme-Fe uptake and normal ligand interactions, no definite role for HpuA in ligand binding was observed. Finally, the energy state of HpuAB exerted a dramatic effect on the kinetics of ligand interactions. TonB and an intact proton motive force gradient were both necessary for the release of Hb and HbHp from HpuAB. This study significantly extended our understanding of the biochemical mechanisms of HpuAB-mediated Fe acquisition and characterized the dynamic, energy-dependent interactions of HpuAB with Hb and HbHp ligands.*; *This dissertation is multimedia (contains text and other applications not available in printed format).
