Irr accumulates in cells under iron limitation, with very low levels of Irr being present in iron-replete cells.  This is a distinction when compared to other Fur family proteins because it functions in the absence of the regulatory metal, whereas the other members require direct metal-binding for the protein to be activated.  <ref>Small, S.
