Notes: DgsA, better known as Mlc, makes large colonies, Hosono K,1995is a transcriptional dualregulator that controls the expression of a number of genes encoding enzymes of the Escherichia coliphosphotransferase (PTS) and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) systems Plumbridge J.,2002; Pradhanang V,2005 It also regulates genesinvolved in the uptake of glucose Plumbridge J.,2001 It is considered a global regulator of carbohydrate metabolismDecker K,1998; Kimata K,1998; In addition, Mlc regulates expression of the MalT transcriptional regulator, the activator of themaltose regulon Decker K,1998; Mlc repressor function is disabled by binding of Mlc to an actively-transported and dephosphorylated form of PtsG(EIICBGlc) Lee SJ,2000; Nam TW,2001 The membrane-bound part of EIICBGlc is essential forMlc inactivation Nam TW,2001; Seitz S,2003; Analysis of the crystal structures of the tetrameric Mlc/EIIB complex shows amolecular mechanism of Mlc inactivation by membrane sequestration, in which Mlc loss its DNA binding ability in vivodue to the conformational obstruction by EIIB molecules Nam TW,2008The crystal structure of Mlc has been determined Gerber K,2005; Schiefner A,2005to 2.85 and 2.7 Å resolution and Mlc incomplex with four molecules of enzyme IIBGlc (EIIB) Nam TW,2008 to 2.85 Å resolution; Mlc forms stable dimersand binds to palindromic operator sites; The N-terminal region has a helix-turn-helix domain, and a C-terminal helix is implicated in EIICBGlc binding Seitz S,2003; Mlc forms tetramers in solution Gerber K,2005; Nam TW,2001 The Mlc monomer is composed of three domains: a DNA-binding motif (D-domain), an EIICBGlc-binding motif (E-domain), and an oligomerization domain (O-domain) Nam TW,2008.Mlc is autoregulated Decker K,1998; Shin D,2001 but it is also repressed and activated by CRP Shin D,2001 Mlc binds to sites with a length of 23 bp; Its consensus sequence has been determined Plumbridge J.,2001The intracellular concentration of Mlc is very limited Nam TW,2001 Zinc mediates the Mlc repressor function Schiefner A,2005 Mlc has a high homology with the NagC transcriptional dual regulator (40% identity and 80% similarity) Hosono K,1995; Cho S,2005 At the post-transcriptional level, Mlc interacts with MtfA, which is involved in the regulation of the ptsG Becker AK,2006Mlc is a member of the ROK (repressor, ORFs, kinases) (NagC/XylR) family of proteins, which contains at least two distinct classes of proteins: xylose repressor (XylR) and a series of glucose/fructose kinases Titgemeyer F,1994; Hansen T,2002.; global; repressor; operon; Transcription related; cytoplasmic polysaccharides; polysaccharide biosynthetic process; metal ion binding; carbohydrate metabolic process; DNA binding; transcription, DNA-dependent; cytoplasm
