    The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • FapR regulates the expression of at least 10 genes (the ''fap'' regulon). It autoregulates its own expression. Malonyl-CoA, a precursor of fatty acid biosynthesis, binds to FapR changing its conformation to a non-DNA binding state. Hence, conditions that cause malonyl-CoA accumulation, like fatty acid biosynthesis inhibition, derepress the ''fap'' regulon.
  • Protein family

  • fapR family (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Effectors of protein activity

  • malonyl-CoA and malonyl-[protein|8D260693D0C69442BCB9F3D8480E8425ACFE34D2|ACP]]] act as the molecular inducer of the FapR regulon [Pubmed|20201588]
