In a previous work, we demonstrated that the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv2358-furB operon is induced by zinc. In this study, the orthologous genes from Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155 were inactivated and mutants analyzed. Rv2358 protein was purified and found to bind upstream of the Rv2358 gene. Binding was inhibited by Zn2+ ions.

Abstract

In a previous work, we demonstrated that the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv2358-furB operon is induced by zinc. In this study, the orthologous genes from Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155 were inactivated and mutants analyzed. Rv2358 protein was purified and found to bind upstream of the Rv2358 gene. Binding was inhibited by Zn2+ ions.

Microbiology covers the biology and biochemistry of microorganisms, bacterial, viral, and parasitic, as well as the medical implications and treatments of the subset of these organisms known to cause disease in humans and/or animals. Biotechnology applications of microorganisms for basic science or clinical use are also covered. Resources that emphasize immune response to pathogens and its modulation by clinical intervention are excluded and are covered in the Immunology category.
