Iron-Responsive Regulation of the<i>Helicobacter pylori</i>Iron-Cofactored Superoxide Dismutase SodB Is Mediated by Fur
18 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
Maintaining iron homeostasis is a necessity for all living organisms, as free iron augments the generation of reactive oxygen species like superoxide anions, at the risk of subsequent lethal cellular damage. The iron-responsive regulator Fur controls iron metabolism in many bacteria, including the important human pathogen Helicobacter pylori, and thus is directly or indirectly involved in regulation of oxidative...
