A homologue of the ferric uptake regulator gene, fur, was identified from a Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 genomic DNA clone. Experiments performed with transcriptional lacZ fusions demonstrated that the A. brasilense fur homologue regulated the expression of two fur regulated Escherichia coli genes: fiu (ferric iron uptake) and fhuF (ferric hydroxamate uptake). A differential regulation by the cognate Fur and the heterologous Fur homologue in response to the iron status of the growth medium was also observed.
从巴西固氮螺菌Sp7基因组DNA克隆中鉴定出铁摄取调节基因fur的一个同源物。用转录lacZ融合体进行的实验表明,巴西固氮螺菌fur同源物调节两个受fur调节的大肠杆菌基因的表达:fiu(铁摄取)和fhuF(高铁羟肟酸摄取)。还观察到同源Fur和异源Fur同源物对生长培养基中铁状态的差异调节。
