Notes: | LeuO is a dual transcriptional regulator that regulates genes involved in leucine biosynthesis Chen CC,2005; Hertzberg KM,1980, genes involved in the utilization of certain β-glucosides Ueguchi C,1998; Madhusudan S,2005 and genes encoding LuxR-type transcription factors Stratmann T,2008 It is also involved in the bacterial stringent response Majumder A,2001.LeuO is one of the transcription factors that counteract H-NS-mediated repression of specific loci Chen CC,2005; Madhusudan S,2005; Ueguchi C,1998 Overproduction of LeuO causes the phenotype Bgl+, since LeuO can unsilence the bglGFB operon, which is silenced (phenotypically Bgl ) under laboratory conditions Ueguchi C,1998LeuO is part of the RpoS/H-NS/Hfq/LeuO/DsrA RNA regulatory cascade that controls the bglGFH operon Madhusudan S,2005and translation of rpoS, particularly at low temperatures Klauck E,1997; Repoila F,2003.LeuO belongs to the LysR transcriptional regulator family and contains a helix-turn-helix DNA-binding domain Ueguchi C, 1998; Henikoff S,1988 No LeuO consensus binding sequence is known Stratmann T,2008.LeuO activates transcription of the divergent leuLABCD operon Chen CC,2001.An in vivo genetic selection (SELEX) and phenotype microarray analysis revealed several multidrug resistance genes as targets for LeuO, including acrEF, ygcLKJIH-ygbTF, and mdtNOP (sdsRQP); mdtNOP (sdsRQP) is involved in sensitivity control against sulfa drugs Shimada T,2009; activator; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; DNA binding; transcription, DNA-dependent; leucine; operon; cytoplasm; Transcription related |
