Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor FNR from Escherichia coli regulates transcription of genes in response to oxygen deprivation. To determine how the activity of FNR is regulated by oxygen, a form of FNR had to be isolated that had properties similar to those observed in vivo. This was accomplished by purification of an FNR fraction which exhibited enhanced DNA binding in the absence of oxygen. Iron and sulfide analyses of...
