Role of Hfq in iron-dependent and -independent gene regulation in Neisseria meningitidis.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Aug 2010

Mellin J R, McClure Ryan, Lopez Delia, Green Olivia, Reinhard Bjorn, Genco Caroline

Abstract excerpt

In Neisseria meningitidis, iron-responsive gene regulation is mediated primarily by the ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein. When complexed with iron, Fur represses gene expression by preventing transcription initiation. Fur can also indirectly activate gene expression via the repression of regulatory small RNAs (sRNA). One such Fur- and iron-regulated sRNA, NrrF, was previously identified in N. meningitidis...
