Abstract excerpt
The inducible response to H(2)O(2) stress in Bacillus subtilis is under the control of PerR, one of three Fur homologues in this organism. PerR was purified in both an inactive, metal-dependent form and an active, metal-containing form as determined using DNA-binding assays. Active PerR contains both zinc and iron and is designated PerR:Zn,Fe. Added manganous ion competes for binding to the iron site and can...
