The lipocalin protein Scn-Ngal is known to bind iron-chelating siderophores, leading to inhibition of bacterial growth. New results reveal that Scn-Ngal, in the absence of bacterial infection, can form a complex with catechol that binds and transports iron
in vivo
.
The lipocalins are secreted proteins that bind small organic molecules. Sc...
