High impact information on mercury

  • The promoter PzntA shows sequence similarities to the promoters of mercury resistance (mer) operons, including a long spacer region containing an inverted repeat sequence [1].
  • We propose a model for the evolution of MerC as a host-dependent, adventitious module of the mer operon [2].
  • The sequence reveals 4 open reading frames which could encode proteins of 12,522, 9,429, 14,965, and 58,912 d corresponding to the 4 previously described Hg-inducible proteins detected in minicells carrying mer+ plasmids [3].
  • The DNA sequence has been determined for a 3.8-kb region which encodes the mercury-resistance (mer) operon of the IncFII plasmid NR1 [3].
