Schematic representation of Fur regulated gene expression. At high iron concentration, both iron-loaded Fur dimers bind Fur box on opposite faces of DNA. Transcription of the iron-dependent receptor gene will be turned off. When iron concentration decrease, iron is released from Fur and apo-Fur is displaced from Fur box. RNA polymerase binds at the promoter region initiating the transcription.
