CsqR DNA-binding transcriptional repressor

Synonyms: CsqR, CsqR-6-sulfo-D-quinovose
Summary:
CsqR, formerly known as YihW and hypothesized to be a transcriptional regulator [4], functions as a repressor for genes of catabolism of sulfoquinovose (SQ), a hydrolysis product of sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG) [1]. CsqR belongs to the DeoR family of transcription factors. It acts as a carbon source-dependent dual regulator involved in sustaining baseline growth in the absence of the lac operon [5]. CsqR is likely involved in regulation of lactose metabolism and functions either in a complementary or opposite manner to a global regulator of carbohydrate metabolism, cAMP-CRP, and functions as a sugar-dependent dual regulator [5]. CsqR is part of a cluster of genes involved in degradation of sulfoquinovose (SQ); see the |FRAME: PWY-7446| pathway. The activity of the CsqR transcriptional regulator is controlled by SQ and sulfoquinovosyl glycerol (SQG) during the exponential growth phase. Both SQ and SQG act as inducers for the yihUTS operon and yihV gene, and also for csqR expression [1]. It was determined by Genomic SELEX screening that CsqR binds strongly only between yihV-csqR (squV-csqR) and yihUTS (squUTS) operons, and CsqR binds with minor strength close to the trxB, yeaC, hyfB, and accC genes [3].
