Notes: Lrp, Leucine-responsive regulatory protein, is a dual transcriptional regulator for at least 10% of the genes in Escherichia coli Tani TH,2002 These genes are involved in amino acid biosynthesis and catabolism, nutrient transport, pili synthesis, and other cellular functions, including 1-carbon metabolism Ernsting BR,1992; Brinkman AB,2003; Calvo JM,1994 In addition, Lrp affects nearly three-fourths of the genes induced upon entry into stationary phase Tani TH,2002; Cho BK,2008 Lrp might also play a topological role in dynamic DNA packaging D'Ari R,1993Lrp can act as a repressor or activator for its target genes; Binding of leucine can affect these activities in three different ways: leucine either potentiates, antagonizes, or has no discernible effect upon Lrp action Lin R,1992; Platko JV,1993; Newman EB,1995 It is believed that Lrp senses the presence of rich nutrition based on the concentration of leucine and positively regulates genes that function during famine and negatively regulates genes that function during a feast Calvo JM,1994Lrp forms a mixture of octamers and hexadecamers Chen S,2001 In the presence of leucine, the octamer configuration is favored; It is believed that the switch between the octameric and hexadecameric states modulated by leucine affects the binding and the activity of Lrp at its target genes Chen S,2002 The structure of Lrp from Escherichia coli bound to DNA as an octamer has been solved de los Rios S,2007 Lrp forms an open ring structure, in which the DNA is wrapped around the octamer in a nucleosome-like structure; The monomer chain contains two domains, an N-terminal helix-turn-helix motif and a C-terminal αβ-sandwich fold; The N-terminal is responsible for the specificity and function among members of the Lrp regulon across the Enterobacteriaceae; The N-terminal tail plays a significant role in modulating Lrp function, similar to what has been reported for a number of other transcriptional regulators Hart BR,2011N-terminal diversity is responsible for some of the differences between orthologs in terms of DNA binding and multimerization Hart BR,2011Lrp-regulated promoters commonly contain multiple adjacent binding sites for the protein with low sequence specificity; A consensus recognition sequence has been described Cui Y,1996 The identified 15-bp sequence motif is structured with flanking CAG/CTG triplets and a central AT-rich signal; Leucine has two effects upon binding to DNA in vitro: the affinity of Lrp is reduced but the cooperativity of binding to multiple sites is increased Chen S,2005Lrp belongs to the Lrp/AsnC family of transcriptional regulatory proteins, which is widely distributed throughout the eubacterial and archaeal domains; Lrp appears to be very well conserved in members of the γ-proteobacteria Brinkman AB,2003A microarray analysis for Lrp of Escherichia coli was done by Hung SP,2002.; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; sequence-specific DNA binding; response to leucine; cytoplasm; nucleoproteins, basic proteins; Transcription related; intracellular; operon; repressor; isoleucine/valine; leucine; leucine biosynthetic process; sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; activator
