摘要: Fur (ferric uptake regulator) protein is a DNA-binding which regulates iron-responsive genes. Recombinant from the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena PCC 7119 has been purified and characterized, polyclonal antibodies obtained. The experimental data show that dimerizes in solution with involvement of disulphide bridges. Cross-linking experiments MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time flight) MS also several oligomerization states Fur, equilibrium these forms depends on concentration ionic strength. In intact recombinant four cysteine residues out five were inert towards DTNB [5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid)], their modification required sodium borohydride. Metal analysis electrospray ionization revealed neither zinc nor other metals are present this protein. Purified bound to its own promoter gel-shift assays. was shown be constitutive cells, no significant difference expression cells grown under iron-sufficient compared iron-deficient conditions.
