An ECF-type transporter scavenges heme to overcome iron-limitation in Staphylococcus lugdunensis

Energy-coupling factor type transporters (ECF) represent trace nutrient acquisition systems. Substrate binding components of ECF-transporters are membrane proteins with extraordinary affinity, allowing them to scavenge trace amounts of ligand. A number of molecules have been described as substrates...
