Seminar title: “Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Transition Metal Homeostasis.” First-row late d-block metals from Mn to Zn play distinct roles in cellular metabolism.  In bacterial pathogens, metalloregulation of transcription underscores physiological adaptation to host-mediated transition metal starvation and toxicity, required to maintain metal homeostasis. In zinc (Zn) homeostasis, for example, a pair of metal-sensing transcriptional … Read more
