In this study we characterized a genetic locus that is predicted to encode one of the three AraC-like regulators of Neisseria meningitidis, a homologue of MpeR of Neisseria gonorrhoeae which is specific to the pathogenic Neisseria species. Previous microarray studies have suggested that this gene is a member of the Fur regulon. In strain MC58, it is a pseudogene (annotated as two ORFs, NMB1879 and NMB1878) containing a frameshift mutation which we show is common to all strains tested belonging t ...[more]
