Abstract excerpt
Iron concentration influences the expression of a number of genes involved in iron uptake and virulence in bacteria. In Escherichia coli, coordinate regulation of these genes by iron depends on the product of the fur gene, which acts as an iron-responsive, DNA-binding repressor protein. Several genes in Vibrio cholerae are also repressed by iron; and a fur gene, homologous to E. coli fur, has been previously...
