The iron responsive regulator Irr is found in a wide range ofa-proteobac-teria, where it regulates many genes in response to the essential but toxic metal iron. Unlike Fur, the transcriptional regulator that is used for iron homeostasis by almost all other bacterial lineages, Irr does not sense Fe 2+ directly, but, rather, interacts with a physiologically important form of iron, namely heme. | IFEBS Journal Heme binding to the second lower-affinity site of the global iron regulator Irr from Rhizobium leguminosarum promotes oligomerization Gaye F.

Unlike Fur the transcriptional regulator that is used for iron homeostasis by almost all other bacterial lineages Irr does not sense Fe2 directly but rather interacts with a physiologically important form of iron namely heme. Recent studies of Irr from the N2-fixing symbiont Rhizobium leguminosarum IrrRl showed that it binds heme with submicromolar affinity at a His-Xxx-His HxH motif. This caused the protein to dissociate from its cognate DNA regulatory iron control element box sequences thus allowing expression of its target genes under iron-replete conditions. In the present study we report new insights into the mechanisms and consequences of heme binding to Irr. In addition to the HxH motif Irr binds heme at a second lower-affinity site. Spectroscopic studies of wild-type Irr and His variants show that His46 and probably His66 are involved in coordinating heme in a low-spin state at this second site. By contrast to the well-studied Irr from Bradyrhizobium japonicum neither heme site of IrrRl stabilizes .
