Classical zinc finger (ZF) domains were thought to be confined to the eukaryotic kingdom
until the transcriptional regulator Ros protein was identified in Agrobacterium tumefaciens …

MucR belongs to a large protein family whose members regulate the expression of virulence
and symbiosis genes in α‐proteobacteria species. This protein and its homologs were …

Proteins of the MucR/Ros family play a crucial role in bacterial infection or symbiosis with
eukaryotic hosts. MucR from Sinorhizobium meliloti plays a regulatory role in establishing …

Zinc ion binding is a principal event in the achievement of the correct fold in classical zinc
finger domains since the motif is largely unfolded in the absence of metal. In the case of a …

Co (II) electronic configuration allows its use as a spectroscopic probe in UV‐Vis
experiments to characterize the metal coordination sphere that is an essential component of …

MucR is a member of the Ros/MucR family of prokaryotic zinc-finger proteins found in the α-
proteobacteria which regulate the expression of genes required for the successful …

The structural effects of zinc replacement by xenobiotic metal ions have been widely studied
in several eukaryotic and prokaryotic zinc-finger-containing proteins. The prokaryotic zinc …

Zinc finger proteins that bind Zn (II) using a Cys2His2 coordination motif within a ββα protein
fold are the most abundant DNA binding transcription factor domains in eukaryotic systems …

The protein MucR from Brucella abortus has been described as a transcriptional regulator of
many virulence genes. It is a member of the Ros/MucR family comprising proteins that …

Significant advances in the understanding of the molecular determinants of fibrillogenesis
can be expected from comparative studies of the aggregation propensities of proteins with …
