Abstract excerpt
A homologue of the ferric uptake regulator protein Fur has recently been identified within the Helicobacter pylori genome. The promoterless gene on a plasmid did partially complement a fur-negative mutant of Escherichia coli, and was strongly positive in the Fur titration assay (FURTA). The genetic and functional characterization of the complete fur homologue performed in this study revealed that the gene is...
