Functional information

Function Uniprot Transcription repressor that represses many genes including ureABC and tnrA, during nitrogen excess. On the contrary of the MerR members, which require longer DNA sites for high-affinity binding, GlnR requires a DNA sequence of 17 nucleotides as minimal binding site.
Role Repressor
Protein family MerR
Structure (PDB ID) 4R4E
