Regulation of the Bacillus subtilis fur and perR genes by PerR: not all members of the PerR regulon are peroxide inducible.

PerR is a ferric uptake repressor (Fur) homolog that functions as the central regulator of the inducible peroxide stress response in Bacillus subtilis. PerR has been previously demonstrated to regulate the mrgA, katA, ahpCF, hemAXCDBL, and zosA genes. We now demonstrate that PerR also mediates both the repression of its own gene and that of fur.
