We identified lbpB, encoding the lipoprotein component of the meningococcal lactoferrin receptor. An LbpB mutant was unable to acquire Fe from lactoferrin and exhibits decreased surface binding to lactoferrin. Primer extension and reverse transcription-PCR analysis indicate that lbpB and lbpA are cotranscribed on a polycistronic Fe-repressible mRNA.
我们鉴定出了lbpB,它编码脑膜炎球菌乳铁蛋白受体的脂蛋白成分。一个LbpB突变体无法从乳铁蛋白获取铁,并且表现出与乳铁蛋白的表面结合能力下降。引物延伸和逆转录-聚合酶链反应分析表明,lbpB和lbpA在一个多顺反子铁可阻遏信使核糖核酸上共同转录。
