[NiFe] hydrogenases are the second major nickel-dependent virulence factor class in human pathogens. Less widespread than urease but critical for energy metabolism in gastric, enteric, and intracellular pathogens. The discovery that H. pylori hydrogenase powers CagA tra…
Specialized membrane proteins that import nickel into bacterial cells, supplying the essential cofactor for virulence enzymes including urease, NiFe-hydrogenase, and Ni-glyoxalase. Because mammals produce no known nickel-requiring proteins, these transporters represent …
