The HypR regulon:

The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU40540

Phenotypes of a mutant

Database entries

  • DBTBS entry: [1]
  • SubtiList entry: [2]

Additional information

The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity:

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
    • Cys14 and Cys49' are about 8-9 Angström 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
  • Cofactor(s):
  • Effectors of protein activity:

Database entries

  • Structure:
    • reduced HypRC14S dimer [3] PubMed
    • oxidized HypR C14-C49' intersubunit disulfide-linked dimer [4] PubMed
  • KEGG entry: [5]
  • E.C. number:
