General annotation (Comments)

Function

Acts as a global negative controlling element, employing Fe2+ as a cofactor to bind the operator of the repressed genes. Regulates the expression of several outer-membrane proteins including the iron transport operon. Ref.5

Subunit structure

Homodimer By similarity.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm.

Miscellaneous

Activated by cadmium, cobalt, copper, and manganese ions, but not zinc ions.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the Fur family.
