== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PURR_ECOLI PURR_ECOLI] Is the main repressor of the genes involved in the de novo synthesis of purine nucleotides, regulating purB, purC, purEK, purF, purHD, purL, purMN and guaBA expression. In addition, it participates in the regulation or coregulation of genes involved in de novo pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis, salvage and uptake (pyrC, pyrD, carAB and codBA), and of several genes encoding enzymes necessary for nucleotide and polyamine biosynthesis (prsA, glyA, gcvTHP, speA, glnB). Binds to a 16-bp palindromic sequence located within the promoter region of pur regulon genes. The consensus binding sequence is 5'-ACGCAAACGTTTTCNT-3'. PurR is allosterically activated to bind its cognate DNA by binding the purine corepressors, hypoxanthine or guanine, thereby effecting transcription repression.<ref>PMID:2404765</ref> <ref>PMID:2211500</ref> <ref>PMID:1400170</ref> <ref>PMID:14741201</ref>
