Abstract

Background: The ABC transporter CydDC, which pumps sulfur compounds, is required for assembly of the bacterial respiratory machinery.
Results: ATP hydrolysis by CydCD in response to sulfur compounds is modulated by hemes.
Conclusion: Hemes regulate CydDC in pumping sulfur compounds.
Significance: This work is a first step in understanding the structure, function, and regulation of a protein vital to the assembly of the respiratory machinery.
