Conserved hypothetical protein; Cell wall-anchored surface receptor that participates in the extraction of heme from oxidized methemoglobin/metHb to enable growth on hemoglobin as a sole iron source (By similarity). Receives heme from IsdB and transfers it to IsdC (By similarity). Plays also a role in the inhibition of host immune response. Protects S.aureus against the bactericidal protease activity of apolactoferrin. Enhances bacterial cellular hydrophobicity, which renders S.aureus resistant to bactericidal human skin fatty acids as well as to beta-defensins and cathelicidin. Also b [...]

Neurofilament protein; Cell wall-anchored surface receptor that extracts heme from oxidized metHb to enable growth on hemoglobin as a sole iron source. Rapidly extracts heme from hemoglobin and transfers it to IsdA or IsdC, which then relays it to the membrane transporter/IsdEF for internalization. Promotes also resistance to hydrogen peroxide and killing by neutrophils; Belongs to the IsdB family.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Involved in heme (porphyrin) scavenging. Binds hemoglobin and almost exclusively free-base protoporphyrin IX. Probably has a role as the central conduit of the isd heme uptake system, i.e. mediates the transfer of the iron-containing nutrient from IsdABH to the membrane translocation system IsdDEF. Hemin-free IsdC (apo-IsdC) acquires hemin from hemin-containing IsdA (holo-IsdA) probably through the activated holo-IsdA-apo-IsdC complex and due to the higher affinity of apo-IsdC for the cofactor. The reaction is reversible (By similarity).

Sortase, putative; Transpeptidase that anchors surface proteins to the cell wall. Recognizes and modifies its substrate by proteolytic cleavage of a C-terminal sorting signal. Following cleavage, a covalent intermediate is formed via a thioester bond between the sortase and its substrate, which is then transferred and covalently attached to the cell wall. This sortase recognizes a Leu-Pro-x-Thr-Gly (LPXTG) motif, which is cleaved by the sortase between the threonine and glycine residues. Utilizes lipid II as the peptidoglycan substrate for the sorting reaction. Responsible for the disp [...]
