Binds hemoglobin in a dose-dependent way. Required for S.aureus growth using hemoglobin as the sole iron source. Also required for virulence. IsdA and/or IsdB promote resistance to hydrogen peroxide and killing by neutrophils (By similarity). | [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ISDB_STAAB ISDB_STAAB]] Seems to function as the primary receptor for hemoglobin since its inactivation inhibits the ability of S.aureus to bind hemoglobin.

Staphylococcus aureus is both an important pathogen and a human commensal. To explore this ambivalent relationship between host and microbe, we analysed the memory humoral response against IsdB, a protein involved in iron acquisition, in four healthy donors. Here we show that in all donors a heavily biased use of two immunoglobulin heavy chain germlines generated high affinity (pM) antibodies that neutralize the two IsdB NEAT domains, IGHV4-39 for NEAT1 and IGHV1-69 for NEAT2. In contrast to the typical antibody/antigen interactions, the binding is primarily driven by the germline-encoded hydrophobic CDRH-2 motifs of IGHV1-69 and IGHV4-39, with a binding mechanism nearly identical for each antibody derived from different donors. Our results suggest that IGHV1-69 and IGHV4-39, while part of the adaptive immune system, may have evolved under selection pressure to encode a binding motif innately capable of recognizing and neutralizing a structurally conserved protein domain involved in pathogen iron acquisition. | |||
