Protein
Probable S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase TehB
Organism
Haemophilus influenzae (strain 10810)
Function
Probable S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase. Plays a role in both resistance to oxidative damage and heme uptake/utilization, and is important for virulence of this organism in an animal model of invasive disease. Also protects H.influenzae from tellurite exposure in vitro; however, since H.influenzae grows only in humans, it is unlikely to encounter tellurite in its natural environment, and it is thus probable that tellurite resistance does not represent a biologically relevant role of TehB.
Similarity
Belongs to the TehB family.
