Regulatory circuits inHelicobacter pylori: network motifs and regulators involved in metal-dependent responses

Abstract excerpt

The ability of Helicobacter pylori, one of the most successful human bacterial pathogens, to colonize the acidic gastric niche persistently, depends on the proper homeostasis of intracellular metal ions, needed as cofactors of essential metallo-proteins involved in acid acclimation, respiration and detoxification. This fundamental task is controlled at the transcriptional level mainly by the regulators Fur and...
