DNTR FROM BURKHOLDERIA SP. STRAIN DNT IN COMPLEX WITH THIOCYANATE
Overview
The transcriptional regulator DntR, a member of the LysR family, is a, central element in a prototype bacterial cell-based biosensor for the, detection of hazardous contamination of soil and groundwater by, dinitrotoluenes. To optimise the sensitivity of the biosensor for such, compounds we have chosen a rational design of the inducer-binding cavity, based on knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of DntR. We report, two crystal structures of DntR with acetate (resolution 2.6 angstroms) and, thiocyanate (resolution 2.3 angstroms), respectively, occupying the, inducer-binding cavity. These structures allow for the construction of, models of DntR in complex with salicylate (Kd approximately or = 4 microM), and 2,4-dinitrotoluene that provide a basis for the design of mutant DntR, with ...
