Short Name | ModE |
description | The ModE-Mo complex acts as a repressor of the modABC operon, which is involved in the transport of molybdate. Upon binding molybdate, the conformation of the protein changes, promoting dimerization of ModE-Mo. The protein dimer is then competent to bind a DNA region, upstream of the modABC operon, which contains an 8-base inverted repeat 5'-TAACGTTA-3' flanked by two CAT boxes. ModE also interacts with tungstate []. |
