3D structures of diphtheria toxin repressor
Updated on 24-February-2019
Diphtheria toxin repressor (DtxR) is an iron-dependent repressor which is synthesized by the diphtheria bacterium when it is in iron-poor environment. The DtxR regulates the expression of high affinity iron uptake system. [1] Structural highlightsDtxR structure contains an N-terminal domain which contains DNA-binding domain (DBD) with a helix-turn-helix motif, dimerization and metal-binding residues. DtxR contains 2 metal binding sites. A C-terminal domain folds into SH3-like conformation.[2]
