Streamlined copper defenses make Bordetella pertussis reliant on custom-made operon
Alex Rivera-Millot et al. investigate copper homeostasis in the whooping cough agent Bordetella pertussis, which has a single copper defense mechanism via a metallochaperone diverted for copper passivation and two peroxide detoxification enzymes. This study demonstrates that copper up-regulates the...
