Why is it important?

IscR is a global regulator which contributes to the overall success in the pathogenesis of Vibrio vulnificus by regulating the expression of various virulence and survival genes. Furthermore, since IscR expression is induced by exposure of the pathogen to host cells, this transcription factor may play an essential role during infection.
