Additional information

The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: transcription repression of the glycolytic gapA operon
  • Protein family:
  • Paralogous protein(s):

Extended information on the protein

  • Kinetic information:
  • Domains:
    • DNA binding domain (H-T-H motif) (37–56)
  • Modification:
  • Cofactor(s):
  • Effectors of protein activity: fructose 1.6-bisphosphate PubMed and dihydroxyacetone phosphate, glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate PubMed act as inducer and result in release of CggR from the DNA
  • Interactions:
  • Localization:

Database entries

  • Structure: complex with Fructose-6-Phosphate NCBI, effector binding domain NCBI
  • Swiss prot entry: [3]
  • KEGG entry: [4]

Additional information

Expression and regulation

The primary mRNAs of the operon are highly unstable. The primary mRNA is subject to processing at the very end of the cggR open reading frame. This results in stable mature gapA and gapA-pgk-tpiA-pgm-eno mRNAs. The processing event requires the Rny protein.

  • Sigma factor: SigA
  • Regulation: CggR represses the operon in the absence of glycolytic sugars PubMed
  • Regulatory mechanism: repression

  • Expression vector: pGP705 (N-terminal His-tag, in pWH844), available in Stülke lab
  • GFP fusion:
  • Antibody: available in Stülke lab
