MntP and YiiP Contribute to Manganese Efflux in Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium under Conditions of Manganese Overload and Nitrosative Stress.

ABSTRACT: The divalent transition metal cation manganese is important for protein function, particularly under conditions of iron limitation, nitrosative stress, and oxidative stress, but can mediate substantial toxicity in excess. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium possesses multiple manganese importers, but the pathways for manganese efflux remain poorly defined. The S. Typhimurium ATCC 14028s genome was analyzed for putative manganese export pathways, which identified a previously uncharacterized homologue of the Escherichia coli manganese exporter mntP, stm1834, and two cation diffusion facilitator family transporters, zitB (stm0758) and yiiP (stm4061). Manganese acquisition by S. Typhimurium has been shown to occur in response to nitr
