Popis: Klebsiella aerogenes UreE, a metallochaperone that delivers nickel ions during urease activation, consists of distinct “peptide-binding” and “metal-binding” domains and a His-rich C terminus. Deletion analyses revealed that the metal-binding domain alone is sufficient to facilitate urease activation. This domain was purified and shown to exhibit metal-binding properties similar to those of UreE lacking only the His-rich tail.
