Abstract excerpt
CymR is a TetR-family transcriptional repressor that recognizes a well-defined operator sequence in the promoter PcymRC. The native ligand cumate and several structurally related aromatic acids bind at an allosteric site and induce a conformational change in CymR, resulting in release from the DNA operator and de-repression of the promoter. The amino acid residues that contribute to these core functions have not...
