Legionella pneumophila IrsA, a novel, iron-regulated exoprotein that facilitates growth in low-iron conditions and modulates biofilm formation by Alberto E. Lopez, Joshua Mayoral, Huaixin Zheng, Nicholas P. Cianciotto

“…Among other things, this revealed 14915, a heretofore uncharacterized gene that is predicted to be transcriptionally regulated by Fur and to encode a novel, ~15 kDa protein. 14915 was present in all L. pneumophila strains examined and had homologs in a subset of the other Legionella species. Compatible with it containing a classic signal sequence, the 14915 protein was detected in bacterial culture supernatants in a manner dependent upon the L. pneumophila type II secretion system. …”
