Native Proteomics Reveals Protease-Mediated Hemophore Release by Bacterial Pathogens

Iron is an essential micronutrient for nearly all forms of life, including pathogenic microbes that must acquire it from their host during infection. At the host–pathogen interface, humans restrict microbial access to iron through nutritional immunity, which many pathogens overcome by secreting hemophores that scaven...
