Rhizobiales-Specific RirA Represses a Naturally “Synthetic” Foreign Siderophore Gene Cluster To Maintain Sinorhizobium-Legume Mutualism
ABSTRACT Iron homeostasis is strictly regulated in cellular organisms. The Rhizobiales order enriched with symbiotic and pathogenic bacteria has evolved a lineage-specific regulator, RirA, responding to iron fluctuations. However, the regulatory role of RirA in bacterium-host interactions remains la...
