Phenotypes of a mutant
no growth with glucose and ammonium as single sources of carbon and nitrogen, respectively (due to [protein|CE542AE1A32CCD1ABB259E6159F7A37A8078E189|fsrA]-mediated repression of the ''[gene|44DF1B7E476AD58B3CCC39300FFE0132D0D32AD0|gltA]-[gene|AA07CC52B2DD48ACC9D3375E9D531CB1ACBE485A|gltB]'' operon)  [Pubmed|22389480]
poor growth on lactate as single carbon source (due to overexpression of [protein|CE542AE1A32CCD1ABB259E6159F7A37A8078E189|fsrA]-mediated repression of the ''[gene|FEC83B66CEA311EA1650D61A215F82E9DF4E9F03|lutA]-[gene|57B9E37F6232189CD47C1B41FDCF43FCB8016AEB|lutB]-[gene|5EE69198882DF4E9AB8D9D7267F071EF88C2F16D|lutC]'' operon, can be suppressed by inactivation of ''[gene|CE542AE1A32CCD1ABB259E6159F7A37A8078E189|fsrA]'' or ''[gene|147AFEBEA546FDBEEB08E9A8D9C7BCDC9B83CC90|fbpB]'')  [Pubmed|22427629]

The protein
Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity
binds promoter regions of genes and operons of the [regulon|Fur regulon] to repress or stimulate transcription of the target genes [pubmed|39251624]
Protein family
[wiki|Fur family] (according to UniProt)
Structure
[PDB|4ETS] (from Campylobacter jejuni, 33% identity) [pubmed|22665794]
[AF|P54574]
Effectors of protein activity
DNA binding activity (repression) is triggered in the presence of Fe2+ [Pubmed|23057863]
in the absence of Fe2+, apo-[protein|E87DFC182D54EE96D4CA57607E734CDFB18E74EF|fpa] binds to [protein|F899F1EE27E6D503BCC06BC52E3C7FD80B8EF725|fur] and prevents its activity [pubmed|39251624]
