The Fur-like regulator Mur controls the expression of the gene encoding the manganese transporter MntH in Brucella abortus 2308 in response to manganese availability
(East Carolina University, 2011)Brucella abortus is a Gram-negative, [alpha]-proteobacterium that causes bovine brucellosis, a prevalent zoonotic disease in many areas of the world. Brucella abortus is an intracellular pathogen that survives and ... -
The Manganese Transporter MntH Is a Critical Virulence Determinant for Brucella abortus 2308 in Experimentally Infected Mice
(East Carolina University, 2009-08)The gene designated BAB1_1460 in the Brucella abortus 2308 genome sequence is predicted to encode the manganese transporter MntH. Phenotypic analysis of an isogenic mntH mutant indicates that MntH is the sole high-affinity ... -
The CDF-type metal efflux protein EmfA is essential for Brucella abortus 2308 resistance to manganese toxicity and is a critical virulence determinant in experimentally-infected mice
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-13)Divalent cationic metals are important trace nutrients for all bacteria because metals serve as cofactors for proteins involved in numerous cellular functions. Despite the fact that metals play an essential role in bacterial ...
