Meddling with metal sensors: Fur-Family proteins as signaling hubs

Open access
Steingard, Caroline H., Helmann, John D.·2023·Journal of Bacteriology

Abstract

The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein is the founding member of the FUR superfamily of metalloregulatory proteins that control metal homeostasis in bacteria. FUR proteins regulate metal homeostasis in response to the binding of iron (Fur), zinc (Zur), manganese (Mur), or nickel (Nur).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
