ABSTRACT
To combat nutritional immunity, N. gonorrhoeae has evolved systems to hijack zinc and other metals directly from host metal-binding proteins such as calprotectin (CP). Here, we report the 6.1 Å cryoEM structure of the gonococcal surface receptor TdfH in complex with a zinc-bound CP tetramer. We further show that TdfH can also interact with CP in the presence of copper and manganese, but not with cobalt.
