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 …

An unprecedented effort to tackle the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has characterized the
activity of the global scientific community over the last two years. Hundreds of published …

Bacterial adaptation is largely shaped by horizontal gene transfer, xenogeneic silencing
mediated by lineage-specific DNA bridgers (H-NS, Lsr2, MvaT and Rok), and various anti …

Transcription factors containing a CCCH structure (C3H) play important roles in plant growth
and development, and their stress response, but research on the C3H gene family in potato …

Ros/MucR is a widespread family of bacterial zinc-finger-containing proteins that integrate
multiple functions, such as symbiosis, virulence, transcription regulation, motility, production …

To achieve effective symbiosis with legume, rhizobia should fine-tune their background
regulation network in addition to activating key genes involved in nodulation (nod) and …

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 …

Given the similar chemical properties of zinc and cadmium, zinc finger domains have been
often proposed as mediators of the toxic and carcinogenic effects exerted by this xenobiotic …

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 …
