Notes: The sn-Glycerol-3-phosphate repressor,GlpR, acts as the repressor of the glycerol-3-phosphate regulon, which is organized in different operons Larson TJ,1987; Lin EC.,1976; Larson TJ,1992; Yang B,1997; Truniger V,1992; Weissenborn DL,1992; Yang B,1996 ; This regulator is part of the glpEGR operon, yet it can also be constitutively expressed as an independent ARRAY(0x2433490) transcription unit Yang B,1998; Schweizer H,1985 ; In addition, the operons regulated are induced when Escherichia coli is grown in the presence of inductor, glycerol, or glycerol-3-phosphate ARRAY(0x24161c0) , and the absence of glucose Lin EC.,1976; In the absence of inductor, this repressor binds in tandem to inverted repeat sequences that consist of 20-nucleotide-long DNA target sites Zhao N,1994; Lin EC.,1976 ; Binding of GlpR to DNA is diminished in the presence of the inducers glycerol or G3P; GlpR belongs to the DeoR family of transcriptional regulators Zeng G,1996 ; Accordingly, this transcriptional repressor family protein is composed of two domains: a conserved N-terminal domain which contains the DNA-binding region, and the carboxy-terminal domain, which is involved in oligomerization and binding of the inducer Zeng G,1996 ; Resequencing of multiple isolates of the MG1655 strain has identified several genetic variations compared to the reference sequence, including a 1-bp deletion in glpR in strain ATCC700926 Freddolino PL,2012 ; This EcoliWiki page summarizes these sequence differences."; repressor; anaerobic respiration; sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; intracellular; glycerol metabolic process; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; cytoplasm; Transcription related; operon; DNA binding; transcription, DNA-dependent
