DIPHTHERIA TOX REPRESSOR (C102D MUTANT) COMPLEXED WITH NICKEL
Overview
The virulent phenotype of the pathogenic bacterium Corynebacterium, diphtheriae is conferred by diphtheria toxin, whose expression is an, adaptive response to low concentrations of iron. The expression of the, toxin gene (tox) is regulated by the repressor DtxR, which is activated by, transition metal ions. X-ray crystal structures of DtxR with and without, (apo-form) its coordinated transition metal ion have established the, general architecture of the repressor, identified the location of the, metal-binding sites, and revealed a metal-ion-triggered subunit-subunit, 'caliper-like' conformational change. Here we report the three-dimensional, crystal structure of the complex between a biologically active, Ni(II)-bound DtxR(C102D) mutant, in which a cysteine is replaced by an, aspartate at ...
