초록

To clarify effects of the structural changes of Fur protein on the resistance to metronidazole (Mtz), the mutational analysis of structure and function of the protein in Helicobacter pylori (Hp) was undertaken. It was identified that some changes in Hp Fur protein resulted in increase of resistance to Mtz, and other changes resulted in decrease of resistance. Increase of Mtz resistance came from the enzyme's decreased ability of reducing prodrug Mtz to the form of bactericidal agent. Some sites that affects Mtz resistance (i) in Fur's N terminal extension, and (ii) in its central region, which links DNA binding and Fe-binding modules were identified. It was also found that the addition of FLAG tag to Fur's C terminus also significantly impairs Fur function.
