IsdH binding to hemoglobin:haptoglobin is decoupled from iron acquisition in Staphylococcus aureus

Valeria Buoli Comani, Omar De Bei, Sarah Hijazi, Antonio Cataldi, Giulia Paris, Giulia Sassi, Marialaura Marchetti, Barbara Campanini, Luca Ronda, Serena Faggiano, Ben F. Luisi, Emanuela Frangipani, Stefano Bettati

This study shows IsdH binds HbHp but does not support S. aureus growth under iron restriction when HbHp is the sole iron source, suggesting HbHp recognition has roles beyond iron acquisition.

Brear, Barbara Campanini, Luca Ronda, Serena Faggiano, Eleonora Gianquinto, Somayeh Asghar Pour Hassan Kiyadeh, Barbara Rolando, Francesca Spyrakis, Carlotta Compari, Loretta Lazzarato, Omar De Bei, , Stefano Bettati

This paper identifies C35 as a dual-acting compound that inhibits Staphylococcus aureus growth by blocking heme acquisition and modulates hemoglobin oxygen affinity.
