  1. a The terms in parenthesis are Pfam domains found in hypothetical proteins or metals predicted to bind the proteins. Metal cofactors were found by searching the ExPASy and Brenda databases.
  2. b Values are fold changes in the expression levels comparing wild type cells exposed to iron-limiting versus iron-replete conditions (WT DP/ WT Fe) or comparing fur mutant strain versus wild type strain both exposed to iron-replete condition (∆fur Fe/WT Fe). The values were obtained as the average of the four last probes for each gene.
  3. c According to previously proposed in earlier work [6], the most probable initiation codon of CC0028 is at position +234 relative to the initiation codon annotated in the genome. Thus, the last four probes designed for CC0028 are not useful to measure its expression. The values showed for this gene correspond to the average of four initial probes of the CC0027 gene, which hybridize within the final portion of CC0028.
