Siderophore-interacting proteins (SIPs) play an important role in iron acquisition in many bacteria. SIPs release iron from the internalized ferric siderophore complex by reducing ferric iron to ferrous iron, but how the iron is reduced is not well understood. Here, a sip gene was identified in the genome of Vibrio anguillarum 775. To further understand the catalytic mechanism of the protein, the SIP was overexpressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3) cells, purified and crystallized for X-ray d ...[more]
