Crystal Structure of Rhodobacter sphaeroides SigE in complex with the anti-sigma ChrR
Overview
A transcriptional response to singlet oxygen in Rhodobacter sphaeroides is, controlled by the group IV sigma factor sigma(E) and its cognate, anti-sigma ChrR. Crystal structures of the sigma(E)/ChrR complex reveal a, modular, two-domain architecture for ChrR. The ChrR N-terminal anti-sigma, domain (ASD) binds a Zn(2+) ion, contacts sigma(E), and is sufficient to, inhibit sigma(E)-dependent transcription. The ChrR C-terminal domain, adopts a cupin fold, can coordinate an additional Zn(2+), and is required, for the transcriptional response to singlet oxygen. Structure-based, sequence analyses predict that the ASD defines a common structural fold, among predicted group IV anti-sigmas. These ASDs are fused to diverse, C-terminal domains that are likely involved in responding to specific, environmental signals that control the activity of their cognate sigma, factor.
