  25. Interplay between the Zur regulon components and metal resistance in Cupriavidus me

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The Zur-regulon is central to zinc homeostasis in the zinc-resistant bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans. It comprises the transcription regulator Zur, the zinc importer ZupT, and three members of the COG0523 family of metal-chaperoning G3E-type GTPases, annotated as CobW1, CobW2, and CobW3. The operon structures of the zur and cobW1 loci were determined.
