Short Name | Tscrpt_reg_HTH_MurR |
description | This entry contains MurR, which represses the expression of the murPQ operon involved in the uptake and degradation of N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc). It binds to two adjacent inverted repeats within the operator region. MurNAc 6-phosphate, the substrate of MurQ, and is the specific inducer that weakens binding of MurR to the operator.MurR is paralogous to RpiR and has both HTH and SIS phosphosugar binding domains. The divergent murR and murQP transcripts have complementary 5' ends []. It is required for swarming phenotype. |
