For decades, the bacterial ferric uptake regulator (Fur) has been thought to respond to ferrous iron to transcriptionally regulate genes required for balancing iron uptake, storage, and utilization. Because iron binding to Fur has never been confirmed in vivo, the physiological iron-sensing mechanism remains an open question. Fontenot et al. now show that Fur purified from Escherichia coli binds an all-Cys-coordinated [2Fe-2S] cluster. This finding opens the exciting possibility that Fur may join numerous well-studied bacterial, fungal, and mammalian proteins that use FeS clusters for cellular iron regulation.

The aerobactin operon of the virulence plasmid pColV-K30 of Escherichia coli K12 consists of four genes for biosynthesis and one for transport of the siderophore. Regulation by iron occurs at the transcriptional level and is mediated by a ferrous iron binding protein designated Fur (ferric uptake regulation). The metallated Fur repressor binds at a palindromic dyad, the "iron box" operator, situated in the vicinity of the RNA polymerase attachment site of the promoter. Evidence suggests that the ferrous iron enters the C-terminal domain of Fur to cause a conformational change in the N-terminal part of the protein. This results in greatly enhanced affinity of the repressor for the operator. Key words: aerobactin, enterobactin, Fur repressor, regulation, siderophores, virulence.

ABSTRACT Iron uptake systems were identified by global expression profiling of Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1. feo, tpd, and ftr, which encode ferrous iron transporters, were up-regulated under iron-rich conditions. The concomitant rapid iron uptake and magnetite formation suggest that these uptake systems serve as iron supply lines for magnetosome synthesis.

The conjugate addition of an alcohol to a butynoate ester using an organophosphine catalyst was monitored using pressurized sample infusion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PSI-ESI-MS), together with 31P and 1H NMR spectroscopy.
