摘要:	The hemin acquisition system of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was elucidated in this study. To identify the TonB-dependent outer membrane receptor for hemin in S. maltophilia, the hemin acquisition systems of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were referenced. PhuR, HasA, and HxuA are three known TonB-dependent outer membrane receptors involved in hemin acquisition by P. aeruginosa. Thus, HemA (Smlt0795) and Smlt2937, the orthologs of PhuR and HasA/HxuA in S. maltophilia, were first considered. KJΔEnt, a stenobactin-null strain, was used as the parental strain for the hemin utilization assay. Deletion of hemA, but not Smlt2937, of KJΔEnt impaired hemin acquisition under iron-depleted conditions, indicating that HemA is the TonB-dependent receptor for hemin uptake. The hemA gene is a member of the hemP-hemA-smlt0796-smlt0797 operon, whose expression was upregulated in a fur mutant and under iron-depleted conditions. The contribution of the hemP-hemA-smlt0796-smlt0797 operon to hemin acquisition was investigated by in-frame deletion mutant construction and hemin utilization assays. Inactivation of hemP, smlt0796, and smlt0797 of KJΔEnt insignificantly affected hemin acquisition under iron-depleted conditions. However, hemP deletion in a fur mutant increased hemin acquisition under iron-depleted conditions. Collectively, we revealed that (i) HemA likely functions as the outer membrane receptor for hemin uptake; (ii) HemP, a predicted transcriptional factor, apparently functions as a repressor of the expression of the hemA transcript; and (iii) in a fur mutant, HemP has a negative impact on hemin acquisition under iron-depleted conditions. IMPORTANCE Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging multidrug-resistant opportunistic pathogen, increasing the difficulty of treatment of this infection. Iron is a critical element for bacterial viability. Heme is the most abundant iron source in the human host; thus, heme is the major iron source for a pathogen in the infection niche. Blocking iron acquisition from heme can be an alternative strategy to control S. maltophilia infection. Although several hemin acquisition systems have been reported in various pathogens, very little is known about the hemin acquisition systems of S. maltophilia. By in-frame deletion mutant construction and hemin utilization assays, we demonstrated that HemA (Smlt0795) is the TonB-dependent outer membrane receptor for hemin uptake and that HemP (Smlt0794), a predicted transcriptional factor, had a negative impact on hemin acquisition in a fur mutant. The negative regulatory role of HemP in hemin acquisition is first reported.
