To ensure survival in the host, bacteria have evolved strategies to acquire the essential
element iron. In Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the ferric uptake regulator Fur regulates metabolism …

The Neisseria gonorrhoeae f erric u ptake r egulator (Fur) protein controls expression of iron
homeostasis genes in response to intracellular iron levels. In this study, using transcriptome …

The ferric uptake regulatory protein, Fur, functions as a global regulatory protein of gene
transcription in the mucosal pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae. We have shown previously …

The promoter region of the major iron-regulated protein of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Fbp, has
two regions that exhibit homology with the Escherichia coli consensus Fur-binding …

Like most microorganisms, Neisseria gonorrhoeae alters gene expression in response to
iron availability. The ferric uptake regulator Fur has been shown to be involved in controlling …

In this study, we have characterized the in vitro binding of Neisseria gonorrhoeae Fur to
several well-defined iron transport genes, as well as to additional genes involved in major …

To ensure survival, most bacteria must acquire iron, a resource that is sequestered by
mammalian hosts. Pathogenic bacteria have therefore evolved intricate systems to sense …

In this study, we have mapped the promoter region of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae ferric iron
binding protein-encoding gene fbpA, determined the start point of transcription, and …

Iron is limiting in the human host, and bacterial pathogens respond to this environment by
regulating gene expression through the ferric uptake regulator protein (Fur). In vitro studies …

It is well established that the f erric u ptake r egulatory protein (Fur) functions as a
transcriptional repressor in diverse microorganisms. Recent studies demonstrated that Fur …
