Ferritin Structure from Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Comparative Study with Homologues Identifies Extended C-Terminus Involved in Ferroxidase Activity

Ferritins are recognized as key players in the iron storage and detoxification processes. Iron acquisition in the case of pathogenic bacteria has long been established as an important virulence mechanism. Here, we report a 3.0 Å crystal structure of a ferritin, annotated as Bacterioferritin B (BfrB)...
