MntR DNA-binding transcriptional dual regulator

Synonyms: MntR-Mn2+, MntR-Cd2+
Summary:
MntR, "Mn2+ transport regulator", the primary sensor and transducer of manganese abundance, is a dual regulator that senses manganese and negatively or positively controls the transcription of different genes involved in manganese homeostasis [3, 4] This protein belongs to the DtxR family. The members of this family have three domains: an N-terminal domain with a helix-turn-helix motif, which binds to DNA; a central domain for dimerization and metal ion binding; and a C-terminal alpha-spectrin SH3-like domain. However, MntR lacks the SH3-like domain [3] The 3D structure of apo-MntR has been solved. The protein dimerizes via its C-terminal domain. The N-terminal and C-terminal domains are connected by a long α-helical linker [5] The N-terminal domain is expected to bind two manganese ions per monomer, in analogy to BsMntR from B. subtilis, which has been crystallized with and without bound manganese [6, 7] All residues involved in manganese binding in BsMntR ar conserved in MntR [5] MntR does not seem to be autoregulated [3] Many iron acquisition genes are derepressed in the mntR mutant [4] Read more >
