hypR autoregulated by disulfide stress


The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity:
  • Protein family: MarR/DUF24-family regulator
  • Paralogous protein(s): YdeP,YkvN

Extended information on the protein

  • Kinetic information: Cys14 redox sensing Cys, has lower pKa of 6.36 PubMed
  • Domains: 5 alpha helices, 2 beta sheets, MarR-fold with wHTH motif, alpha4 major groove recognition helix, beta2 and 3 form the wing; alpha5 dimer interface PubMed
  • Modification: oxidized to Cys14-Cys49' intersubunit disulfides by disulfide stress PubMed
  • Cofactor(s):
  • Effectors of protein activity:
  • Interactions:
  • Localization: cytoplasmic

Database entries

  • Structure:

reduced HypRC14S dimer [3] oxidized HypR C14-C49' intersubunit disulfide-linked dimer [4]

  • KEGG entry: [5]
  • E.C. number:

Additional information

Expression and regulation

  • Operon: yybR (hypR)(according to DBTBS)
  • Regulation: activated by disulfide stress conditions (diamide, NaOCl) in vivo and in vitro PubMed
  • Regulatory mechanism: redox-controlled by Cys14-Cys49' intersubunit disulfide formation by diamide and NaOCl in vitro and vivo PubMed
  • Additional information: Cys14 and Cys49' are about 8-9 Angstroem apart in reduced HypR-Dimer, oxidation moves the major groove recognition alpha4 helices of the HypR dimer about 4 Angstroem towards each other that leads to activation of HypR PubMed

Biological materials

  • Mutant:
  • Expression vector:
  • lacZ fusion:
  • GFP fusion:
  • two-hybrid system:
