Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitanswas found to express a polypeptide immunologically related to theNeisseria gonorrhoeaeFbpA iron binding protein. In addition, the expression ofhitBandhitChomologs was detected by Northern blot analysis. This periodontal pathogen also expresses a polypeptide homologous to the 31-kDaHaemophilus influenzaeprotein, which shows amino acid sequence homology with the FimA and YfeA proteins fromStreptococcus parasanguisandYersinia pestis, respectively. BothA. actinomycetemcomitansprotein homologs were located within the periplasmic space, and their synthesis was regulated by the iron and hemin concentration of the culture medium. Southern and Western blot analysis together with molecular cloning revealed the presence of a Fur-like repressor, which may control the iron regulation of gene expression in this bacterium. Cultivation in the presence of hemin or Congo red revealed the ability of this organism to bind hemin. This binding activity was further confirmed by isolatingEscherichia coliDH5α clones that produced red and brown colonies on agar plates containing Congo red and hemin, respectively, after transformation with anA. actinomycetemcomitansgene library.
