Abstract excerpt
A DNA fragment conferring resistance to zinc and cobalt ions was isolated from a genomic DNA library of Staphylococcus aureus RN450. The DNA sequence analysis revealed two consecutive open reading frames, designated zntR and zntA. The predicted ZntR and ZntA showed significant homology to members of ArsR and cation diffusion families, respectively. A mutant strain containing the null allele of zntA was more...
