The cytoplasmic heme-binding protein (PhuS) from the heme uptake system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an intracellular heme-trafficking protein to the delta-regioselective heme oxygenase.

Abstract

The uptake and utilization of heme as an iron source is a receptor-mediated process in bacterial pathogens and involves a number of proteins required for internalization and degradation of heme. In the following report we provide the first in-depth spectroscopic and functional characterization of a cytoplasmic heme-binding protein PhuS from the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Spectroscopic characterization of the heme-PhuS complex at neutral pH indicates that the heme is predominantly six-coordinate low spin. However, the resonance Raman spectra and global fit analysis of the UV-visible spectra show that at all pH values between 6 and 10 three distinct species are present to varying degrees. The distribution of the heme across multiple spin states and coordination number highlights the flexibility of the heme environment. We provide further evidence that the cytoplasmic heme-binding proteins, contrary to previous reports, are not heme oxygenases. The degradation of the heme-PhuS complex in the presence of a reducing agent is a result of H2O2 formed by direct reduction of molecular oxygen and does not yield biliverdin. In contrast, the heme-PhuS complex is an intracellular heme trafficking protein that specificall...Continue Reading
