MlrA DNA-binding transcriptional activator

Synonyms: MlrA
Summary:
MlrA is a regulator of curli production in an avian pathogenic Escherichia coli strain and in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium [2]. Shiga toxin-encoding prophages have been observed to integrate at the mlrA gene of enterohemorrhagic E. coli [3]. MlrA is a member of the MerR family, containing the conserved N-terminal DNA-binding domain present in members of this family [1, 2]. On the other hand, its C-terminal domain, probably used by a yet-to-be-identified effector, showed no similarity to any of the hitherto-characterized MerR family members [1]. MlrA binds an AAAGTTGTACA(12N)TGCACAATTTT palindromic sequence and probably induces DNA underwinding, as in the case of MerR [1]. Based on the site identified on the csgDp1 promoter, sites for another four genes were identified, two of which are transcriptional regulators [1].
