Biomolecular interactions underpin most processes inside the cell. Hence, a precise and
quantitative understanding of molecular association and dissociation events is crucial, not …

All organisms must regulate the cellular uptake, efflux, and intracellular trafficking of
essential elements, including d-block metal ions. In bacteria, such regulation is achieved by …

Proteins belonging to the FUR (ferric uptake regulator) family are the cornerstone of
metalloregulation in most prokaryotes. Although numerous reviews have been devoted to …

Marine cyanobacteria are critical players in global nutrient cycles that crucially depend on
trace metals in metalloenzymes, including zinc for CO2 fixation and phosphorus acquisition …

Zinc is required for the activity of many enzymes and plays an essential role in gene
regulation and redox homeostasis. In Anabaena (Nostoc) sp. PCC7120, the genes involved …

Metal and redox homeostasis in cyanobacteria is tightly controlled to preserve the
photosynthetic machinery from mismetallation and minimize cell damage. This control is …

Bacteria have developed fine-tuned responses to cope with potential zinc limitation. The Zur
protein is a key player in coordinating this response in most species. Comparative …

In a striking similarity to plant chloroplasts, the cyanobacterium Anabaena displays very low
catalase activity, but expresses several peroxiredoxins (Prxs), including the typical 2‐Cys …

Abstract The FUR (Ferric Uptake Regulator) family in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 consists of
three paralogs named FurA (Fur), FurB (Zur) and FurC (PerR). furC seems to be an essential …

Zur (zinc uptake regulator) is a significant member of the Fur (ferric uptake regulator)
superfamily, which is widely distributed in bacteria. Zur plays crucial roles in zinc …
