Notes: The transcriptional activator GadE, for Glutamic acid decarboxylase, is positively autoregulated Ma Z,2004; Hommais F,2004and controls the transcription of genes involved in the maintenance of pH homeostasis, including the principal acid resistance system Tramonti A,2003; Tramonti A,2002; Shin S,2001; Hommais F,2004; Ma Z,2003; Masuda N,2002; Masuda N,2003; Tucker DL,2002 glutamate dependent (GAD), also referred as the GAD system, and genes involved in multidrug efflux, among others Ma Z,2002; Tramonti A,2008; Tucker DL,2003; Tramonti A,2006; Nishino K,2008; Hommais F,2004 GadE also controls the expression of two transcription factors related to acid resistance, GadW and GadX, and for this reason it is considered the central activator of the acid response system Hommais F,2004; Ma Z,2003 GadE is encoded by the gadE-mdtEF operon, inducible by low pH Tucker DL,2002 which is located in the region called the acid fitness island Tramonti A,2008 Expression of gadE is controlled by an unusually large 798- bp upstream intergenic region, termed the sensory integration locus Sayed AK,2009 At least six regulators related to the acid resistance system, GadE, GadX, GadW, EvgA, YdeO, and MnmE, are involved in the direct regulation of gadE Sayed AK,2009; Sayed AK,2007; Hommais F,2004Ma et al; proposed that the binding targets for GadE consist of 20-nucleotide sequences that possess nonconserved motifs, called the GAD box, and suggested that it is a regulator that may form a complex with GadX Ma Z,2003 As a member of the LysR family, this transcription factor is composed of two domains: the N-terminal domain, which has a potential helix-turn-helix DNA-binding motif in the DNA-binding region, and the C-terminal inducer-binding domain Senda T,2005; Schell MA.,1993; pH; activator; Transcription related; intracellular signal transduction; two-component response regulator activity; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; sequence-specific DNA binding; transcription, DNA-dependent; DNA binding; sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; intracellular; two-component signal transduction system (phosphorelay)
