Molecular logic of the Zur-regulated zinc deprivation response in Bacillus subtilis

The transcription factor Zur controls the zinc deprivation response in Bacillus subtilis. Here, Shin and Helmann show that Zur-regulated genes are derepressed in three waves in response to zinc deprivation, and this is linked to the biochemistry of zinc sensing by Zur.
