Notes: The Gluconate repressor,GntR, is a transcription factor that negatively regulates the operon involved in the catabolism of d-gluconate via the Entner-Doudoroff pathway and also represses genes involved in two different systems related to d-gluconate uptake: gluconate I and gluconate II Rodionov DA,2000; Tsunedomi R,2003; Bausch C,1998; This regulator is part of the gntRKU operon, yet it can also be constitutively expressed as an independent ARRAY(0x2431180) transcription unit Izu H,1997; Tong S,1996; Gluconate I is considered the main system for transport of d-gluconate and contains genes that encode high- and low-affinity gluconate transporters Rodionov DA,2000; Porco A,1997; Porco A,1998; Izu H,1997; Peekhaus N,1998; The d-gluconate II system is capable of transport of l-idonate and also is regulated by IdnR; the genes involved in this system encode another high-affinity gluconate transporter Rodionov DA,2000; In addition, the genes regulated are induced when Escherichia coli is grown in the presence of the inductor, d-gloconate, and in the absence of glucose; In the absence of inductor, this repressor binds in tandem to inverted repeat sequences that consist of 20-nucleotide-long DNA target sites Rodionov DA,2000; Binding of GntR to DNA is diminished in the presence of the inducer d-gluconate; GntR is closely homologous to IdnR ARRAY(0x2409e78) and belongs to the LacI/GalR family of transcriptional regulators Rodionov DA,2000; 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 effector binding and oligomerization Izu H,1997."; intracellular; transcription repressor activity; sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; DNA binding; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; cytoplasm; operon; repressor; Transcription related; transcription, DNA-dependent
