Looking for help on the question about FUR
Fur binds tightly to DNA a short distance from 5' end of the genes for these virulence factors...
efficiency of Fur binding goes up as concentration of iron in bacteria goes up
based on this, Fur most likely regulates which process
methylation
post transcript. modification
splicing
transcription
translation
answer is transcription, I chose translation, couldn't get good insight on previous posts as to why and can't find it clearly explained in FA
