PdhR DNA-binding transcriptional dual regulator

Synonyms: PdhR-pyruvate, PdhR
Summary:
PdhR, "pyruvate dehydrogenase complex regulator," regulates genes involved in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex [2, 4, 9] Activity of PdhR is controlled by pyruvate. In the absence of this compound, the PdhR regulator binds to its target promoters. This repression is antagonized by its coeffector, pyruvate [3, 4] In addition to the role described above, PdhR also controls the synthesis of two key enzymes (Ndh and CyoA) in the terminal electron transport system [3] The pdhR deletion mutant enhanced glucose metabolism under oxygen-limited conditions. This mutant strain showed an increased activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and NADH dehydrogenase [] The PdhR belongs to the GntR family of transcriptional regulatory proteins, which share sequence similarities in their N-terminal DNA-binding domains [1, 10] PdhR is negatively autoregulated [11] The pdhR consensus sequences has been determined to be 17bp [4] and more recently as 15 bp [3] Read more >
