Congrats to Jane Oliaro and team on this exciting study into #zinc and how it regulates tumour cell susceptibility to T cell killing. A cool collaboration between #cancer immunologists @PeterMacCC, TNF-signalling experts @WEHI_research, & the @McDevitt_Lab

How does the pathogenic #bacteria Haemophilus influenzae scavenge the crucial #biometal #manganese? New work from @McDevitt_Lab @KapplerUlrike @Kobe_Lab_ @DeplazesEvelyne reveals the role of HfeA and its ABC transporter in metal scavenging and virulence.
doi.org/10.1021/acsinf…

The Hfe permease and Haemophilus influenzae manganese homeostasis.
The Gram-negative bacterial pathogen Haemophilus influenzae use the manganese-recruiting protein HfeA to import the metal via the HfeBCD transporter into the bacterial cytoplasm. Here, contributes to protection against reactive oxidative species (ROS) stress as a cofactor in the manganese-superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). In a HfeA deficient strain, manganese cannot be transported by this pathway, resulting in loss of MnSOD activity and increased susceptibility to ROS stress.
