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 …

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 …

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 …

The pathogenic Neisseria spp. produce a number of iron-regulated gene products that are
thought to be important in virulence. Iron-responsive regulation of these gene products has …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Uncomplicated gonorrhea is most commonly an acute urogenital infection involving the
urethra in men and the endocervix in women of reproductive age. Upon entering the …

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 …

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 …
