PrpR DNA-binding transcriptional dual regulator

Synonyms: PrpR-(2S,3S)-2-methylcitrate, PrpR
Summary:
The "Propionate Regulator," PrpR, is a transcription factor that controls expression of genes involved in catabolism of propionate [1] It is negatively autoregulated, sensitive to catabolite control, and coordinately activates transcription of a divergent operon related to propionate catabolism [1] Synthesis of this operon is induced when E. coli is grown in the absence of glucose or glycerol. PrpR belongs to the NtrC family of activators, which interact directly with the RpoN RNA polymerase [2] PrpR is a σ54-dependent activator and belongs to the AAA+ superfamily of mechano-chemical ATPases. It consists of three domains, an amino-terminal domain involved in effector recognition, a catalytic domain, and a carboxy-terminal DNA-binding domain [3] This regulator binds to a palindromic sequence (5'-GTTTCAT-10n-ATGAAAC-3') that overlaps prpRp [1] Read more >
