Form | Liquid or Lyophilized powder |
Buffer | Liquid form: default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. Lyophilized powder form: the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. |
Reconstitution | Briefly centrifuged the vial prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. It is recommended to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. The default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. |
Storage | 1. Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. 2. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. 3. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week. 4. In general, protein in liquid form is stable for up to 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. Protein in lyophilized powder form is stable for up to 12 months at -20°C/-80°C. |
Notes | Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week. |

Gene Functions References
- The influence of oxygen availability on the levels of active Fur adds a previously undescribed layer of regulation in maintaining cellular iron homeostasis in E. coli. PMID: 29087312
- High iron supply inhibits the synthesis of the genotoxin colibactin by pathogenic Escherichia coli through a non-canonical Fur/RyhB-mediated pathway. PMID: 28637194
- Finally, Fur derepression and RecA activation in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 were shown to participate in the nitric oxide-enhanced Stx1 and Stx2 production, respectively. PMID: 28294553
- The authors report that O2 availability affects the gene expression programs of two Escherichia coli master regulators that function in iron homeostasis: the transcription factor Fur and the small RNA regulator RyhB. PMID: 26670385
- The key regulator of the response to serum-active and inactive-is the iron regulator Fur, which controls the expression of more than 80% of the serum-upregulated genes. PMID: 25118243
- Fur exhibits a comprehensive regulatory role affecting many fundamental cellular processes linked to iron metabolism in order to coordinate the overall response of E. coli to iron availability. PMID: 25222563
- Authors demonstrated that the EHEC lpf2 operon is regulated in response to temperature, pH, bile salts and iron, during the exponential phase of growth, and is controlled by Fur. PMID: 24966050
- In a murine model of urinary tract infection (UTI), deletion of fur alone did not attenuate virulence, whereas a DeltaryhB mutant and a Deltafur DeltaryhB double mutant showed significantly reduced bladder colonization. PMID: 25245805
- There is a transient change in the activity of the iron regulator Fur and of the oxidative stress regulator SoxS after Zn addition. PMID: 22016571
- results presented here show that ftnA iron induction is independent of RyhB and instead involves direct interaction of Fe(2+)-Fur with an 'extended' Fur binding site (containing five tandem Fur boxes) located upstream (-83) of the ftnA promoter. PMID: 20015147
- H2O2-inducible antioxidant defense system leading to an increase in catalase; hydroperoxidase HPI activity, is unaltered in Deltafur mutants PMID: 15878120
- Tyr 55 of Escherichia coli Fur, as well as the two thymines in positions 18 and 19 of the consensus Fur Box, are involved with binding. PMID: 16212958
- Affinity of Fur for different metals was determined & ranges over several orders of magnitude in the order: Zn(II)>> Co(II)> Fe(II)> Mn(II). Only Fe(II) binds with sufficient affinity to activate Fur significantly at physiological metal levels. PMID: 16216078
- an activation mechanism for E. coli Fur involves the folding/unfolding of the N-terminal helix PMID: 16690618
- Fur protein translation is coupled to that of an upstream open reading frame, translation of which is downregulated by the non-coding RNA RyhB. PMID: 17268550
- Fur function may be antagonized by intracellular H2O2 by oxidizing the Fur:Fe(2+) complex and inactivating repressor function. PMID: 17462026
- In this study, information theory was used to identify new Fur binding sites, 13 of which we confirmed experimentally. PMID: 17921503
- In the fur+ strain compared to those in the fur- strain, expression of chromosomal dihydroorotase activity and beta-galactosidase activity of pyrC-lacZ fusion plasmid was repressed to about 30% and 17%, respectively. PMID: 18176545
- The characteristic metabolism of rpoS mutants required the activity of Fur (ferric uptake regulator) in order to decrease the synthesis of the small RNA RyhB that might otherwise inhibit the synthesis of iron-rich proteins. PMID: 18556786
- Binding of both zinc and iron ions induced a similar change in Fur conformations, but shifted residues closer to DNA in a different manner. PMID: 19023664
- transcriptomic data identified the global transcription regulators ArcA, CRP, Fis, FNR, Fur, BaeR, CpxR, and IHF as targets and potential CO sensors PMID: 19091747
