Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli actively imports nickel via the ATP-dependent NikABCDE permease. NikR, a protein of the ribbon-helix-helix family of transcription factors, represses expression of the nikABCDE operon in the presence of excessive concentrations of intracellular nickel. Here, the NikR operator site is identified within the nikABCDE promoter by footprinting and mutational analyses. The operator consists of two...
