| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this work, the structural basis of sensor proteins was elucidated for the construction of sensitive sensing systems of environmental pollutions. Especially, the structural and functional relationships of two heme transport proteins, HupD from Listeria monocytogenes and HmuT from Corynebacterium glutamicum, that have heme sensing ability was elucidated by X-ray crystallography and spectroscopic studies to understand the molecular mechanisms of heme sensing and binding.
