ZraR DNA-binding transcriptional activator

Synonyms: ZraR, ZraR-phosphorylated
Summary:
ZraR, "zinc resistance-associated regulator," controls the expression of genes involved in tolerance to high zinc concentrations. Based on chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIp-Seq) and RT-qPCR, 25 new genes regulated by ZraR were identified. The genes encode proteins of diverse functions that may be critical to maintain envelope integrity and cell survival under stressful conditions; they are mostly involved in the response against stress [2]. The genes of the ZraR regulon are also involved in replication and protein synthesis [2].The protein ZraR also appears to be involved in palladium ion reduction [3]. On the other hand, based on Genomic SELEX screening it was reported that ZraR only binds strongly in the intergenic region of divergent genes zraP and zraSR operons and that with minor strength ZraR binds in the intergenic region of the divergent genes relB/ydfV and mltB/selA and close to the gene potF [4].
