Notes: The AscG, Arbutin-salicin-cellibiose, transcriptional regulator represses the expression of a cryptic operon (ascFB) whose genes are involved in transport and utilization of the β-glucoside sugars arbutin, salicin, and cellibiose; This operon is activated only when the repressor is inactivated through the interruption of the gene by an insertion sequence Hall BG,1992 AscG also regulates prpBC for propionate catabolism Ishida Y,2009 AscG is a GalR-type transcription factor and has a helix-turn-helix motif Hall BG,1992; Ishida Y,2009 AscG recognizes and binds the consensus palindromic sequence TGAAACCGGTTTCA Ishida Y,2009The ascG gene is transcribed divergently from the operon it regulates Hall BG,1992 ascG is paralogous to galR Ishida Y,2009 A high level of AscG is always present in wild-type Escherichia coli cells Ishida Y,2009; carbon compounds; repressor; operon; Transcription related; cytoplasm; specific transcriptional repressor activity; negative regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; intracellular; sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; carbohydrate catabolic process; transcription, DNA-dependent; sequence-specific DNA binding
