Significance Transition metals are required for proper cellular function, which renders them critical all life. To restrict bacterial infection, eukaryotic organisms actively sequester these transition metals, a concept referred to as nutritional immunity. Consequently, pathogens have evolved dedicated mechanisms acquire in order colonize the host. During human plague, Yersinia pestis overcomes iron limitation via production of secreted siderophore yersiniabactin. Here, we identify an...
