Both host and pathogen competitively manipulate coordination environments during bacterial infections. Human cells release the innate immune protein siderocalin (Scn, also known as lipocalin-2/Lcn2, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin/NGAL) that can inhibit bacterial growth by sequestering iron in a ferric complex with enterobactin (Ent), the ubiquitous <i>Escherichia coli</i> siderophore. Pathogenic <i>E. coli</i> use the virulence-associated esterase IroE to linearize the Ent cyclic tri ...[more]
