Intracellular zinc concentration needs to be maintained within strict limits due to its toxicity at high levels, and this is achieved by a finely regulated balance between uptake and efflux. Many bacteria use the Zinc Uptake Regulator Zur to orchestrate zinc homeostasis, but little is known regarding the transport of this metal across the bacterial outer membrane. In this work we determi…
Bacteria have to deal with the paradox emerged from metal requirements and its toxicity when in excess. The most common mechanism used is the regulation of genes involved in uptake, storage and efflux of metals. In zinc homeostasis, the uptake and storage mechanisms are generally regulated by the transcriptional repressor Zur, while efflux systems are regulated by different transcription…
