Abstract excerpt
The expression of iron-regulated genes in bacteria is typically controlled by the ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein, a global transcriptional repressor that regulates functions as diverse as iron acquisition, oxidative stress, virulence and acid tolerance. We have identified a fur homologue in Vibrio alginolyticus and shown that it complements an Escherichia coli fur mutant. Reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR)...
