Nickel homeostasis in Escherichia coli - the rcnR-rcnA efflux pathway and its linkage to NikR function.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Oct 2006

Iwig Jeffrey S, Rowe Jessica L, Chivers Peter T

Abstract excerpt

The nickel physiology of Escherichia coli is dominated by its Ni-Fe hydrogenase isozymes, which are expressed under anaerobic growth conditions. Hydrogenase activity in E. coli requires the NikABCDE nickel transporter, which is transcriptionally repressed by NikR in the presence of excess nickel. Recently, a nickel and cobalt-efflux protein, RcnA, was identified in E. coli. This study examines the effect of RcnA...
