Bacterial cells rely on Zinc as a trace element, however a large Zinc presence can be detrimental if it forms specific compounds within the cell. Bacterial cells have to regulate the amount of Zn2+. To maintain zinc homeostasis, bacteria can use Zur in order to keep the appropriate levels of Zn2+, since the Zur promoter represses the transcription of Zn2+. The Zurr box acts as a repressor for Zn2+ uptake and houses several promoter regions (Don Liang-Huang 2008: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2490734/)
