Notes: The transcription factor CysB, for Cysteine B, is negatively autoregulated Jagura-Burdzy G,1981; Jovanovic M,2003 this regulator also controls the transcription of the operon involved in novobiocin resistance Lilic M,2003; Jovanovic M,2003and transcription of genes involved in sulfur utilization and sulfonate-sulfur catabolism via cysteine biosynthesis Jagura-Burdzy G,1981; van der Ploeg JR,1997; Monroe RS,1990; Lochowska A,2001; Lochowska A,2004; Kredich NM.,1992; Leyh TS,1988; van der Ploeg JR,2001; Rakonjac J,1991 In the presense of N-acetylserine, the inducer molecule of this regulator, DNA binding by CysB tetramers to the target sequences is facilitated Lochowska A,2001; Jovanovic M,2003 The amino acid sequence of CysB shows homology to members of the LysR family of transcriptional regulators Tei H,1990; Ostrowski J,1987; Tyrrell R,1997; Jovanovic M,2003 The N-terminal region of this protein comprises a helix-turn-helix DNA-binding motif; CysB has a central region, suggesting that it may be important for inducer recognition Tyrrell R,1997 and the carboxy-terminal domain is involved in homo-oligomerization, stability, and DNA binding Lamark T,1991; Tyrrel et al; proposed that this regulator has an unusual mechanism of binding to DNA Tyrrell R,1997; cysteine; Transcription related; activator; repressor; regulon; cytoplasm; cellular amino acid biosynthetic process; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; DNA binding; cysteine biosynthetic process; transcription, DNA-dependent; negative regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent
