Characterization of the diversity and the transferrin-binding domain of gonococcal transferrin-binding protein 2.

Cornelissen, C N, Anderson, J E, Sparling, P F

The molecular weight heterogeneities of Tbp1 and Tbp2 among a panel of 45 gonococcal isolates were assessed. The tbpB genes from four of these strains were sequenced to characterize the Tbp2 sequence...

Binding and surface exposure characteristics of the gonococcal transferrin receptor are dependent on both transferrin-binding proteins.

Cornelissen, C N, Sparling, P F

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is capable of iron utilization from human transferrin in a receptor-mediated event. Transferrin-binding protein 1 (Tbp1) and Tbp2 have been implicated in transferrin receptor...

Expression of gonococcal transferrin-binding protein 1 causes Escherichia coli to bind human transferrin.

Cornelissen, C N, Biswas, G D, Sparling, P F

The gene for gonococcal transferrin-binding protein 1 (TBP1) was cloned behind an inducible promoter in Escherichia coli. The resultant strain was capable of binding human transferrin with the same...

Gonococcal transferrin-binding protein 2 facilitates but is not essential for transferrin utilization.

Anderson, J E, Sparling, P F, Cornelissen, C N

Pathogenic Neisseria species have been shown to scavenge iron from transferrin (Tf), although the mechanism is not yet fully understood. Two iron-repressible proteins that exhibit Tf-binding activity...

Gonococcal transferrin-binding protein 1 is required for transferrin utilization and is homologous to TonB-dependent outer membrane receptors.

Cornelissen, C N, Biswas, G D, Tsai, J, Paruchuri, D K, Thompson, S A, Sparling, P F

The pathogenic Neisseria species are capable of utilizing transferrin as their sole source of iron. A neisserial transferrin receptor has been identified and its characteristics defined; however, the...
