THREE DIMENSIONAL CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF E. COLI MET REPRESSOR WITH AND WITHOUT COREPRESSOR
Overview
The three-dimensional crystal structure of met repressor, in the presence or absence of bound corepressor (S-adenosylmethionine), shows a dimer of intertwined monomers, which do not have the helix-turn-helix motif characteristic of other bacterial repressor and activator structures. We propose that the interaction of met repressor with DNA occurs through either a pair of symmetry-related alpha-helices or a pair of beta-strands, and suggest a model for binding of several dimers to met operator regions.
