    AnnotationAt conditions of low iron availability, Neisseria meningitidis produces a family of FrpC-like, type I-secreted RTX proteins of unknown role in meningococcal lifestyle. It is shown here that iron starvation also induces production of FrpD, the other protein expressed from a gene located immediately upstream of the frpC gene in a predicted iron-regulated frpDC operon. We found that FrpD is highly conserved in a set of meningococcal strains representative of all serogroups and does not exhibit any similarity to known sequences of other organisms. Subcellular localization and [3H]palmitic acid labeling in Escherichia coli revealed that FrpD is synthesized with a type II signal peptide for export across the cytoplasmic membrane and is, upon processing to a lipoprotein, sorted to the outer bacterial membrane.
