Abstract

The iron-regulated surface determinants (Isd) of Staphylococcus aureus, including surface proteins IsdA, IsdB, IsdC, and IsdH and ATP-binding cassette transporter IsdDEF, constitute the machinery for acquiring heme as a preferred iron source. Here we report hemin transfer from hemin-containing IsdA (holo-IsdA) to hemin-free IsdC (apo-IsdC). The reaction has an equilibrium constant of 10 +/- 5 at 22 degrees C in favor of holo-IsdC formation. During the reaction, holo-IsdA binds to apo-IsdC and then transfers the cofactor to apo-IsdC with a rate constant of 54.3 +/- 1.8 s(-1) at 25 degrees C. The transfer rate is >70,000 times greater than the rate of simple hemin dissociation from holo-IsdA into solvent (k transfer = 54.3 s(-1) versus k -hemin = 0.00076 s(-1)). The standard free energy change, Delta G 0, is -27 kJ/mol for the formation of the holo-IsdA-apo-IsdC complex. IsdC has a higher affinity for hemin than IsdA. These results indicate that the IsdA-to-IsdC hemin transfer is through the activated holo-IsdA-apo-IsdC complex and is driven by the higher affinity of apo-IsdC for the cofactor. These findings demonstrate for the first time in the Isd system that heme transfer is rapid, direct, and affinity-driven from IsdA to IsdC...Continue Reading
