Helicobacter pylori HP1512 Is a Nickel-Responsive NikR-Regulated Outer Membrane Protein

Abstract excerpt

Helicobacter pylori is dependent upon the production of the highly abundant and active metalloenzyme urease for colonization of the human stomach. Thus, H. pylori has an absolute requirement for the transition metal nickel, a required cofactor for urease. To investigate the contribution of genes that are factors in this process, microarray analysis comparing the transcriptome of wild-type H. pylori 26695 cultured...
