== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/NIKA_STAA8 NIKA_STAA8] Part of the ABC transporter complex NikABCDE (Opp2) involved in nickel import. Binds nickel and transfers it to the membrane-bound permease. Required for full urease activity and plays a significant role in the virulence of S.aureus during urinary tract infection (UTI) (PubMed:20662775). May bind nickel via a nickel-chelator (PubMed:25611161).<ref>PMID:20662775</ref> <ref>PMID:25611161</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Staphylococcus aureus possesses two canonical ABC-importers dedicated to nickel acquisition: the NikABCDE and the CntABCDF systems, active under different growth conditions. This study reports on the extracytoplasmic nickel-binding components SaNikA and SaCntA. We showed by protein crystallography that SaNikA is able to bind either a Ni-(l-His)2 complex or a Ni-(l-His) (2-methyl-thiazolidine dicarboxylate) complex, depending on their availability in culture supernatants. Native mass spectrometry experiments on SaCntA revealed that it binds the Ni(ii) ion via a different histidine-dependent chelator but it cannot bind Ni-(l-His)2. In vitro experiments are consistent with in vivo nickel content measurements that showed that l-histidine has a high positive impact on nickel import via the Cnt system. These results suggest that although both systems may require free histidine, they use different strategies to import nickel.
