Identification of a transcription factor, PunR, that regulates the purine and purine nucleoside transporter punC in E. coli

Rodionova et al. find that the putative transporter gene, ydhC and its regulator ydhB are involved in purine transportation and that the expression of the ydhC gene is activated by the YdhB in E. coli. The authors suggest renaming the regulator PunR and the transporter PunC, respectively.
