CdaR DNA-binding transcriptional activator

Synonyms: CdaR
Summary:
The "Carbohydrate diacid regulator," CdaR, or "sugar diacid regulator," SdaR, regulates genes involved in the uptake and metabolism of galactarate and glucarate, and it is also autoregulated [1]. SdaR responds to d-galactarate and d-glucarate, and even better to d-glycerate to activate the genes it regulates [1]. In addition, it was found that 2-O-α-mannosyl-d-glycerate (MG) can induce the SdaR regulon [2]. MG has been recognized as a protective osmolyte in hyperthermophylic prokaryotes and as a carbon source for Escherichia coli [2]. This protein has a helix-turn-helix motif for DNA binding in the C-terminal domain [1]. The exact position and sequence that SdaR binds to in DNA have not been yet determined. It has been observed that cdaR contains a single nucleotide mutation in cells induced for chlorhexidine (CHX) resistance, and its expression is repressed in these altered cells [3]. Read more >
