Research ArticleBacillus subtilis Regulators MntR and Zur Participate in Redox Cycling, Antibiotic Sensitivity, and Cell Wall PlasticityManganese and zinc are essential transition metals involved in many fundamental cellular processes, including protection against external oxidative stress. In Bacillus subtilis, Zur and MntR are key transcriptional regulators of zinc and manganese homeostasis, respectively. In this work, proteome analysis of...
Research ArticleInterplay between the Zur Regulon Components and Metal Resistance in Cupriavidus metalliduransZinc is an important transition metal cation and is present as an essential component in many enzymes, such as RNA polymerase. As with other transition metals, zinc is also toxic at higher concentrations so that living cells have to maintain strict control of their zinc homeostasis. Members of the COG0523 family of metal-chaperoning GE3-type GTPases exist in archaea, bacteria, and eucaryotes, including humans, and they may be involved...
