Crystal structure of putative transcriptional regulator ycdc

Function

[RUTR_ECOLI] 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).^{[1] [2]}

About this Structure

3loc is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli. This structure supersedes the now removed PDB entry 1pb6. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
