Zinc-Dependent MarR Family Transcriptional Regulator AdcR
Write general information about protein here
|
Zinc-Dependent Transcriptional Regulator AdcR has on each of its two domains (important amino acids for zinc binding shown in white) and can bind a total of four zinc ions at one time. Of the two binding sites, binding site 1 is the only site with known importance for DNA binding. The function of binding site 2 is unknown.
Binding Site 1
consists of a distorted tetrahedral geometry around the zinc ion. The four amino acids involved are E24, H42, H108, and H112.
Binding Site 2
consists of a highly distorted tetrahedral geometry around the zinc ion. There are three amino acids involved in the binding of the zinc ion (C30, E41, and E107) as well as a water molecule.

HTH Domain
The AdcR MarR transcriptional regulator's structure resembles the other proteins in the same family; however, the most notable differences are found in the winged helix-turn-helix (wHTH) motif that assists in binding DNA. This wHTH motif is consistent among all marR family proteins that bind DNA.
