Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli glycine cleavage enzyme system, encoded by the gcvTHP operon, catalyses the oxidative cleavage of glycine to CO(2), NH(3) and a one-carbon methylene group. Transcription of the gcv operon is positively regulated by GcvA and negatively regulated by GcvA and GcvR. Using a LexA-based system for analysing protein heterodimerization, it is shown that GcvR interacts directly with GcvA in vivo to...
