PYRR, THE BACILLUS SUBTILIS PYRIMIDINE BIOSYNTHETIC OPERON REPRESSOR, DIMERIC FORM
Overview
BACKGROUND: The expression of pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthetic (pyr), genes in Bacillus subtilis is regulated by transcriptional attenuation., The PyrR attenuation protein binds to specific sites in pyr mRNA, allowing, the formation of downstream terminator structures. UMP and, 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP), a nucleotide metabolite, are, co-regulators with PyrR. The smallest RNA shown to bind tightly to PyrR is, a 28-30 nucleotide stem-loop that contains a purine-rich bulge and a, putative-GNRA tetraloop. PyrR is also a uracil phosphoribosyltransferase, (UPRTase), although the relationship between enzymatic activity and RNA, recognition is unclear, and the UPRTase activity of PyrR is not, physiologically significant in B. subtilis. Elucidating the role of PyrR, structural ... [(full description)]
