AmtR, a member of the TetR family of transcription regulators, is a global regulator of nitrogen control in Corynebacterium glutamicum. Unlike other TetR-family members, which are regulated by small-molecule effectors, AmtR is regulated by a protein called GlnK. It has been shown that a GlnK trimer has to become adenylylated prior to formation of a complex with AmtR. The physiological function of AmtR has been very well studied, but structural characterization of the mechanistic aspects of AmtR-regulated transcription has yet to be accomplished. AmtR has successfully been crystallized in space group P2(1)2(1)2, with six molecules in the asymmetric unit and unit-cell parameters a = 153.34, b = 163.10, c = 51.93 angstrom . Preliminary phases were obtained using Se-SAD.

D012097 Repressor Proteins Proteins which maintain the transcriptional quiescence of specific GENES or OPERONS. Classical repressor proteins are DNA-binding proteins that are normally bound to the OPERATOR REGION of an operon, or the ENHANCER SEQUENCES of a gene until a signal occurs that causes their release.
