Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibits a high requirement for iron, which it can acquire via several mechanisms, including the acquisition and utilization of heme. The P. aeruginosa genome encodes two heme uptake systems, the heme assimilation system (Has) and the Pseudomonas heme utilization (Phu) system. Extracellular heme is sensed via the Has system, which encodes an extracytoplasmic function (ECF) σ factor system. Previous studies have shown that the transfer of heme from the extracellular hemophore HasAp to the outer membrane receptor HasR is required for activation of the σ factor HasI and upregulation of has operon expression. Here, employing site-directed mutagenesis, allelic exchange, quantitative PCR analyses, immunoblotting, and 13C-heme uptake experiments, we delineated the differential contributions of the extracellular FRAP/PNPNL loop residue His-624 in HasR and of His-221 in its N-terminal plug domain required for heme capture to heme transport and signaling, respectively. Specifically, we show that substitution of the N-terminal plug His-221 disrupts both signaling and transport, leading to dysregulation of both the Has and Phu uptake systems. Our results are consistent with a model wherein heme release from HasAp to ...Continue Reading
