Bacterial sigma factors are subunits of the RNA polymerase that confer specificity to promoter DNA sequences and trigger transcription initiation. The vegetative sigma factor is responsible for transcription of housekeeping genes, whereas alternative sigma factors recognize different promoter sequences and regulate specific subsets of genes in response to variations in environmental condi…
Iron is an essential micronutrient, required as cofactor in several biological reactions, but its intracellular excess can cause damage. In bacteria, iron homeostasis involves the activation of uptake systems in limitation and systems of efflux and storage in excess of this metal. In this work, we intend to identify and characterize novel regulatory mechanisms and efflux systems for iron …
Transition metals are essential for life by acting as cofactors in various biochemical reactions. In bacteria, metal homeostasis involves regulatory metalloproteins that sense different metals and lead to the activation or repression of genes. The metalloprotein Fur senses the iron levels to mediate derepression of iron uptake systems under iron limitation and activation of storage and ef…
