Studies of IscR reveal a unique mechanism for metal-dependent regulation of DNA binding specificity

IscR from Escherichia coli is an unusual metalloregulator in that it globally regulates transcription by recognizing two different DNA motifs in a Fe-S dependent manner. Here, we report structural and biochemical studies of IscR, which suggest remodeling of the protein-DNA interface upon Fe-S ligati...
