<h3>Genes involve in Aerobactin biosynthesis</h3>
 
<p>Aerobactin is an iron chelator (siderophore) produced by different strains of E. coli. It is a virulence factor enabling E. coli to sequester iron in iron-poor environments and helps bacteria in colonization inside the host. Aerobactin producing operon is a part of ColV plasmid of E. coli strains. Five genes are present on Aerobactin producing operon, four of them (iucA, iucB, iucC, iucD) are involved in Aerobactin synthesis and one (iutA) is responsible for transportation of Aerobactin.</p>

<h3>NsrR binding site</h3>
 
<p>NsrR is a nitric oxide (NO) sensitive transcriptional repressor. In absence of NO it binds to a particular DNA sequence as a homodimer and block transcription. In presence of NO, NsrR binds to NO using Fe-S cluster, due to this NsrR can’t bind to DNA.</p>
 
<p>23bp NsrR binding site is basically a 11bp inverted repeat with a spacing of 1bp. </p>
