Published in TB and Outbreaks Week, February 13th, 2007
Current study results from the report, "Global analysis of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Zur (FurB) regulon," have been published. "The proteins belonging to the Fur family are global regulators of gene expression involved in the response to several environmental stresses and to the maintenance of divalent cation homeostasis. The Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome encodes two Fur-like proteins, FurA and a protein formerly annotated FurB," scientists in Pavia, Italy report.
"Since in this paper we show that it represents a zinc uptake regulator, we refer to it as Zur. The gene encoding Zur is found in an operon together with the gene encoding a second...
