Abstract In Gram-positive bacteria, sophisticated machineries to acquire the heme group of hemoglobin (Hb) have evolved to extract the precious iron atom contained in it. In the human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, the Shr protein is a key component of this machinery. Herein we present the crystal structure of hemoglobin-interacting domain 2 (HID2) of Shr bound to Hb. HID2 interacts with both, the protein and heme portions of Hb, explaining the specificity of HID2 for the heme-bound form of Hb, but not its heme-depleted form. Further mutational analysis shows little tolerance of HID2 to interfacial mutations, suggesting that its interaction surface with Hb could be a suitable candidate to develop efficient inhibitors abrogating the binding of Shr to Hb. |
