Description

Bacterial cells rely on Zinc as a trace element, however a large Zinc presence can be detrimental if it forms specific compounds within the cell. Bacterial cells have to regulate the amount of Zn2+. To maintain zinc homeostasis, bacteria can use Zur in order to keep the appropriate levels of Zn2+, since the Zur promoter represses the transcription of Zn2+. The Zurr box acts as a repressor for Zn2+ uptake and houses several promoter regions

Notes

In order to induce the promoter, .5 micromoles of zinc sulfate must be added to the Zurr box.
