Protein Family Models

This domain is the C-terminal ligand binding domain of many members of the GntR family. This domain binds to a range of effector molecules, including Lactate, Zn(II), Ni(II), Ca(II), Mg(II), citrate, sugar acids, sialic acid and N-acetylglucosamine-6-P, that regulate the transcription of genes through the action of the N-terminal DNA-binding domain Pfam:PF00392 (Matilla et. al., FEMS Microbiology Reviews, fuab043, 45, 2021, 1. https://doi.org/10.1093/femsre/fuab043). This domain is found in Swiss:P45427 and Swiss:P31460 that are regulators of sugar biosynthesis operons. It is also in the known structure of FadR where it binds to acyl-coA, the domain is alpha helical [1]. This family has been named as FCD for (FadR C-terminal Domain). [1]. 11013219.

This family of regulatory proteins consists of the N-terminal HTH region of GntR-like bacterial transcription factors. At the C-terminus there is usually an effector-binding/oligomerisation domain. The GntR-like proteins include the following sub-families: MocR, YtrR, FadR, AraR, HutC and PlmA, DevA, DasR [1-2][4][5]. Many of these proteins have been shown experimentally to be autoregulatory, enabling the prediction of operator sites and the discovery of cis/trans relationships [3]. The DasR regulator has been shown to be a global regulator of primary metabolism and development in Streptomyces coelicolor [5]. [1]. 12867439.
