- The many faces of the helix-turn-helix domain: transcription regulation and beyond. (2005, background): “In bacteria the MerR family has vastly proliferated into several distinct subfamilies, like the SoxR and CueR subfamilies [37].”
- Bacterial mercury resistance from atoms to ecosystems. (2003, background): “This novel mechanism of repression and activation constitutes a third major type of bacterial regulatory mechanism [129] which is mimicked in the regulator/operator relationships of several related proteins responsive to other metals, oxidative shock, or to bulky, toxic organic molecules [119].”
- Bacterial multidrug efflux pumps: mechanisms, physiology and pharmacological exploitations. (2014, background): “A glance of the currently known regulators of MDR efflux pumps in various species (Table 1) shows that majority of the regulators belong to the TetR, MarR, or MerR family, which usually acts as the transcriptional repressors [89–91].”
- Role of Microorganisms in the Remediation of Wastewater in Floating Treatment Wetlands: A Review (2020, background): “Few gram-negative bacteria possess the specific mercury-resistant (Mer) operon gene for the degradation of organic mercurials and reductions in Hg+2 [199].”
- Escherichia coli mechanisms of copper homeostasis in a changing environment. (2003, background): “While a hypersensitive regulation of expression of genes involved in resistance of a solely toxic metal, such as mercury, would be bene¢cial [172], this mechanism would be only inappropriate for homeostasis of an important trace metal like copper [20].”
