	'''Irr and Other Iron-Regulating Proteins'''		'''Irr and Other Iron-Regulating Proteins'''

	Since there are bacteria that have to have iron level-mediating proteins present but do not have the Fur (ferric uptake regulator) protein, there must be another protein that takes its place. In the case of ''B. japonicum'', which does not have the Fur protein, the Irr protein was found to be the regulator of iron levels within the cell <ref>2) Small, S. K., S. Puri, and M. R.
