Disease relevance of fepD

The fepD, fepG, and fes genes of Y. enterocolitica were shown to complement corresponding E. coli mutants [1].

High impact information on fepD

These genes mapped in the enterobactin gene cluster and genetic evidence indicated that they are transcribed as part of an operon (fepD, fepG, fepC) [2].
Regulatory architecture of the iron-regulated fepD-ybdA bidirectional promoter region in Escherichia coli [3].

Biological context of fepD

Insertional mutagenesis of fepD or fes genes abrogates enterochelin-supported growth of Y. enterocolitica on iron-chelated media [1].

Associations of fepD with chemical compounds

Here we report observation of the fepD and fepG gene products in polyacrylamide gels; they appeared as diffuse bands at positions consistent with smaller sizes than those predicted by sequence analysis [4].
