Abstract excerpt
Production of the siderophore aerobactin in Escherichia coli is transcriptionally metalloregulated through the iron-dependent binding of the Fur (ferric uptake regulator) to a large region (>100 base pairs) within the cognate promoter in the pColV-K30 plasmid. We show in this article that such an unusually long operator results from the specific addition of degenerate repeats 5'-NAT(A/T)AT-3' and not from a...
