Functional information

Function Uniprot Master transcription regulator which represses the degradation of pyrimidines (rutABCDEFG) and purines (gcl operon) for maintenance of metabolic balance between pyrimidines and purines. It also regulates the synthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides and arginine from glutamine (carAB) and the supply of glutamate (gadABWX).
Role Activator; Repressor
Protein family TetR/AcrR
Structure (PDB ID) 3LOC
