A Cu(I)-sensing ArsR family metal sensor protein with a relaxed metal selectivity profile.
ArsR (or ArsR/SmtB) family metalloregulatory homodimeric repressors collectively respond to a wide range of metal ion inducers in regulating homeostasis and resistance of essential and nonessential metal ions in bacteria. BxmR from the cyanobacterium Osciliatoria brevis is the first characterized ArsR protein that senses both Cu (I)/Ag (I) and divalent metals Zn (II)/Cd (II) in cells by regulat...
متن کاملStructural elements of metal selectivity in metal sensor proteins.
Staphylococcus aureus CzrA and Mycobacterium tuberculosis NmtR are homologous zinccobalt-responsive and nickelcobalt-responsive transcriptional repressors in vivo, respectively, and members of the ArsRSmtB superfamily of prokaryotic metal sensor proteins. We show here that Zn(II) is the most potent negative allosteric regulator of czr operatorpromoter binding in vitro with the trend Zn(II)>Co(I...
متن کاملThe SmtB/ArsR family of metalloregulatory transcriptional repressors: Structural insights into prokaryotic metal resistance.
The SmtB/ArsR family of prokaryotic metalloregulatory transcriptional repressors represses the expression of operons linked to stress-inducing concentrations of di- and multivalent heavy metal ions. Derepression results from direct binding of metal ions by these homodimeric "metal sensor" proteins. An evolutionary analysis, coupled with comparative structural and spectroscopic studies of six Sm...
متن کاملRefractive Index Sensor Based on a Metal–Insulator–Metal Waveguide Coupled with a Symmetric Structure
In this study, a new refractive index sensor based on a metal-insulator-metal waveguide coupled with a notched ring resonator and stub is designed. The finite element method is used to study the propagation characteristics of the sensor. According to the calculation results, the transmission spectrum exhibits a typical Fano resonance shape. The phenomenon of Fano resonance is caused by the coup...
متن کاملDesign and fabrication of a rapid conductometric pH sensor based on metal-oxide technology
A micro-fabricated metal-oxide based conductometric pH sensor is designed and fabricated in this manuscript. pH sensors have applications in various areas from farming to food processing, human health monitoring, industrial waste products investigation, etc. Accordingly, there is a relatively high demand for a reliable, rapid and precise pH sensor in the market. Relatively precise pH sensors ha...
