Newbery et al 2007 reported the first crystal structure of OhrR from Xanthomonas campestris in Molecular Cell. This was the second structure of an OhrR protein to be submitted to the Protein Data Bank. For the structures of both reduced and oxidized OhrR, protein was overexpressed in ''E coli''. To produce crystals of the reduced form of the protein, site-directed mutagenesis was performed to mutate the reactive cysteine (Cys22) to a serine. Crystals of both unlabeled and selenomethionine-substituted reduced OhrR were generated and data collected using SAD phasing. For crystallization of the oxidized form of the protein, purified protein was treated with cumene hydroperoxide and purified via gel filtration prior to crystallization. The resulting reduced and oxidized structures were respectively named 2pex and 2pfb. Refinement of 2pex resulted in a 1.90 angstrom structure with an Rfree of 27.7% and Rwork of 23.6% and 96.7% of phi,psi angles in the most favorable regions of the Ramachandran plot. Refinement of 2pfb yielded a 1.93 angstrom structure with 96.1% of phi,psi angles in the most favorable regions of the Ramachandran plot and Rfree/Rwork value of 25.0% and 21.9% respectively. Neither of the final models included any residues in disallowed regions of the Ramachandran plot.

OhrR é um fator transcricional caracterizado por ser uma proteína repressora e o principal fator regulatório do gene Ohr na maioria dos microrganismos. Essa proteína se encontra sobre o promotor do gene da Ohr e tem a sua estrutura alterada quando oxidada, ao entrar em contato com hidroperóxidos de ácidos graxos e peroxinitritos. Com a mudança de conformação gerada pela oxidação da OhrR ocorre o seu desprendimento do promotor do gene, fazendo com que o mesmo se torne mais acessível a RNA polimerase, ocorrendo por consequência uma superexpressão do gene da Ohr. Além da OhrR também foram encontrados em alguns microrganismos meios regulatórios distintos para o gene da Ohr. Um exemplo é a regulação positiva pelo fator sigma alternativo, presente em alguns microrganismos
