T1 |
0-169 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Crystal and solution studies reveal that the transcriptional regulator AcnR of Corynebacterium glutamicum is regulated by citrate-Mg2+ binding to a non-canonical pocket. |
T2 |
170-378 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Corynebacterium glutamicum is an important industrial bacterium as well as a model organism for the order Corynebacteriales, whose citric acid cycle occupies a central position in energy and precursor supply. |
T3 |
379-596 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Expression of aconitase, which isomerizes citrate into isocitrate, is controlled by several transcriptional regulators, including the dimeric aconitase repressor AcnR, assigned by sequence identity to the TetR family. |
T4 |
597-712 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We report the structures of AcnR in two crystal forms together with ligand binding experiments and in vivo studies. |
T5 |
713-891 |
Sentence |
denotes |
First, there is a citrate-Mg(2+) moiety bound in both forms, not in the canonical TetR ligand binding site but rather in a second pocket more distant from the DNA binding domain. |
T6 |
892-991 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Second, the citrate-Mg(2+) binds with a KD of 6 mM, within the range of physiological significance. |
T7 |
992-1070 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Third, citrate-Mg(2+) lowers the affinity of AcnR for its target DNA in vitro. |
T8 |
1071-1248 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Fourth, analyses of several AcnR point mutations provide evidence for the possible involvement of the corresponding residues in ligand binding, DNA binding, and signal transfer. |
T9 |
1249-1354 |
Sentence |
denotes |
AcnR derivatives defective in citrate-Mg(2+) binding severely inhibit growth of C. glutamicum on citrate. |
T10 |
1355-1648 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Finally, the structures do have a pocket corresponding to the canonical tetracycline site, and although we have not identified a ligand that binds there, comparison of the two crystal forms suggests differences in the region of the canonical pocket that may indicate a biological significance. |
