The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU27080

Phenotypes of a mutant

Database entries

  • DBTBS entry: no entry
  • SubtiList entry: [1]

Additional information

The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: binding to the upstream activating sequence in front of the levD gene results in activation of transcription of the levD-levE-levF-levG-sacC operon, bining occurs in the presence of fructose
  • Protein family: transcriptional antiterminator bglG family (according to Swiss-Prot), Attention: this is wrong: LicR is a transcription activator, the similarity to the BglG family is limited to the PTS-regulation domains
  • Paralogous protein(s):
