Characterization of FerC, a MarR-type transcriptional regulator, involved in transcriptional regulation of the ferulate catabolic operon in Sphingobium sp. strain SYK-6 (2012), FEMS Microbiol. Lett., 332, 68-75.

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment)	Organism
gene ferB, the ferBA genes form an operon, genetic organization of the fer gene cluster, overview. Transcriptional regulation of ferBA controlled by a MarR-type transcriptional regulator, FerC. The ferC gene is located upstream of ferB. The transcription start site of ferB is mapped at 30 nucleotides upstream from the ferB initiation codon. Constitutive expression of the ferC-ferB intergenic region in SME043 cells, FerC regulates the ferBA transcription through the binding to the ferCferB intergenic region	Sphingobium sp.
