Experimental Process

Putative Fur-binding sites in the genome of C. crescentus were detected by using a position weight matrix approach. EMSAs validated that Fur binds to the identified promoters. LacZ reporter assays validated Fur-mediated expression regulation.

Gene Regulation

Regulated genes for each binding site are displayed below. Gene regulation diagrams show binding sites, positively-regulated genes, negatively-regulated genes, both positively and negatively regulated genes, genes with unspecified type of regulation. For each indvidual site, experimental techniques used to determine the site are also given.
