== Other Heme Binding PBPs ==
Researchers have elucidated a few other heme binding PBPs which are functionally similar to DppA of Mtb. <scene name='84/842887/Shut/4'>ShuT</scene> of S. dysenteriae and PhuT of P. aeruginosa were among the earliest of these proteins to be elucidated in 2007.  A general mechanism has been proposed for the activity of these proteins, but these proteins differ significantly structurally from DppA, so it is unlikely the specific mechanism of these proteins relates to DppA.
