ArgR DNA-binding transcriptional dual regulator

Synonyms: ArgR, ArgR-L-arginine
Summary:
ArgR complexed with L-arginine represses the transcription of several genes involved in biosynthesis and transport of arginine, transport of histidine, and its own synthesis [1, 2, 5] and activates genes for arginine catabolism [13]. ArgR is also essential for a site-specific recombination reaction that resolves plasmid ColE1 multimers to monomers and is necessary for plasmid stability [20]. The role of ArgR in this latter reaction may be structural [20]. The hexamer is the active form of ArgR, and L-arginine binds to ArgR and stabilizes the hexamer [7] and increases its DNA affinity by allosteric activation [7]. ArgR belongs to the ArgR/AhrC family, whose members are widely distributed in bacteria [8].
