The bacterial iron sensor IdeR recognizes its DNA targets by indirect readout
F. J. Marcos-Torres, D. Maurer, J. J. Griese
This study reveals that IdeR proteins recognize DNA targets through an indirect readout mechanism by sensing the DNA backbone structure rather than direct base contacts, and identifies a shorter palindromic binding site.
