Effectors of protein activity
activation of ''[gene|4E1FD02C6FE4103E3B4942BF5221C062CB8D0B9B|gabT]-[gene|A0BEB92D54799956A4ADE106A1388E5710141069|gabD]'' expression is triggered by gamma-amino butyrate and pyridoxalphosphate [Pubmed|15223311]
in the absence of GABA, GabR represses [gene|4E1FD02C6FE4103E3B4942BF5221C062CB8D0B9B|gabT]-[gene|A0BEB92D54799956A4ADE106A1388E5710141069|gabD] expression, whereas binding of GABA to GabR results in a conformational change resulting in activation of transcription [pubmed|32147931]
