The cpeB gene does not have a promoter of its own. It is co-transcribed together with the adjacent furS gene from at least one promoter, the position of which was deduced on the basis of high-resolution S1 mapping of transcriptional start sites. Physiological and transcriptional studies suggested that FurS acts as a transcriptional repressor in the presence of Mn2+ and Fe2+ ions. A FurS fusion protein was purified, after cloning of the corresponding gene, either from Escherichia coli or Streptomyces lividans transformants. The fusion protein from each host strain can be converted into a form that exhibits reduced electrophoretic mobility following treatment with thiol-reducing agents; in the presence of diamide, in contrast, the mobility of the protein is enhanced. Additional immunological studies have shown that the native S. reticuli FurS also shows these properties, which are due to the presence of redox-sensitive cysteine residues. As revealed by gel-shift and in vitro footprinting studies, only the reduced form of the FurS fusion protein and the reduced FurS protein (partially purified from S. reticuli) is able to bind to a motif upstream of the furS gene. In the absence of first-row divalent ions, the binding site encompasses 22 bp. In the presence of Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Cu2+ or Zn2+, however, the region bound is extended by 18 bp. It is noteworthy that the region upstream of the furA gene in several mycobacteria contains a very similar motif. The predicted mycobacterial FurA shares a high degree of sequence identity with FurS, and the furA gene is linked to one that encodes a catalase-peroxidase (KatG).

The recJ gene from strain MS11 was cloned and sequenced and was found to show a considerable degree of identity to its Escherichia coli homologue. A N. gonorrhoeae delta recJ mutant was constructed and tested for recombinational proficiency as well as for defects in DNA repair. In the absence of the RecJ exonuclease, DNA transformation and pilin switching occurred at wild type levels, indicating that the efficiency of recombination remained unimpaired.

Complementation of the gonococcal recJ mutant in cis restored resistance to low-level UV, indicating that the gonococcal RecJ protein is involved in recombinational repair, and can act independently of other single-strand-specific exonucleases. Furthermore, transformation competence was not required for RecJ-dependent DNA repair.
