Human Metabolome-derived Cofactors Are Required for the Antibacterial Activity of Siderocalin in Urine

In human urinary tract infections, host cells release the antimicrobial protein siderocalin (SCN; also known as lipocalin-2, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, or 24p3) into the urinary tract. By binding to ferric catechol complexes, SCN can sequester iron, a growth-limiting nutrient for mo...
