The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein is the founding member of the FUR superfamily of
metalloregulatory proteins that control metal homeostasis in bacteria. FUR proteins regulate …

Metals play essential roles in many biological processes but are toxic when present in
excess. This makes their transport and homoeostatic control of particular importance to living …

The full regulatory potential of the ferric uptake regulator (Fur) family of proteins remains
undefined despite over 20 years of study. We report herein an integrated approach that …

Metabolic adaptations are critical to the ability of bacterial pathogens to grow within host
cells and are normally preceded by sensing of host‐specific metabolic signals, which in turn …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains of non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) origin do not produce
significant amounts of extracellular alginate and are nonmucoid. In CF, such isolates can …

Cyclic AMP receptor protein (Crp) is a transcription regulator controlling diverse cellular
processes in many bacteria. In Streptomyces coelicolor, it is well established that Crp plays …

Next-generation sequencing technologies have had a dramatic impact in the field of
genomic research through the provision of a low cost, high-throughput alternative to …

Two-component systems (TCSs) of bacteria regulate many different aspects of the bacterial
life cycle, including pathogenesis. Most TCSs remain uncharacterized, with no information …

Plant immune receptors enable detection of a multitude of microbes including pathogens.
The recognition of microbes activates various plant signaling pathways, such as those …

One of the most important micronutrients for bacterial growth is iron, whose bioavailability in
soil is limited. Consequently, rhizospheric bacteria such as Pseudomonas fluorescens …
