摘要: The chemistry of transition‐metal ions makes them both essential cofactors to vital processes in the cell as well a source reactive oxygen species that can have lethal consequences. genes encoding proteins collectively manage cellular metal ion homeostasis are under transcriptional control metalloregulatory harbor metal-specific coordination sites allosterically regulate operator DNA binding. This chapter reviews recent efforts understand protein structure, chemistry, and structural mechanisms metal-dependent gene expression prokaryotes eukaryotes.
