This gene is a member of the following regulons

PerR regulon

The Fur regulon

The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU23520

Phenotypes of a mutant

  • no growth with glucose and ammonium as single sources of carbon and nitrogen, respectively (due to FsrA-mediated repression of the gltA-gltB operon) PubMed
  • poor frowth on lactate as single carbon source (due to overexpression of FsrA-mediated repression of the lutA-lutB-lutC operon, can be suppressed by inactivation of fsrA or fbpB) PubMed
  • transcription profile of a fur mutant strain: GEO PubMed
