Summary:
MhpR, "hydroxyphenylpropionate regulator," participates in controlling the expression of several genes involved in degradation of phenylpropionate (PP) [1, 2] MhpR is able to bind to its DNA-binding site even in the absence of inducer; however, increasing concentrations of inducer improve the binding strength of MhpR. 3-(2,3-Dihydroxyphenyl)propionate (DHPP) and 3-hydroxyphenylpropionate (3HPP), two intermediates of the metabolic pathways, are the principal inducers of MhpR. The third inducer, phenylpropionate (PP), acts synergistically with DHPP and 3HPP [1, 3] This protein, which belongs to the IclR family of transcriptional regulators, has a helix-turn-helix motif to bind DNA in its N-terminal domain and a 22-residue motif, specific to an IclR subfamily, in its C-terminal domain [2] MhpR is necessary to recruit CRP to the regulatory region of the mhp operon, where both proteins activate transcription [1] The mhpR gene, which is located downstream of the genes it regulates and in the opposite direction, appears to be expressed constitutively [1] Read more > |
