== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LYSG_CORGL LYSG_CORGL] Positively regulates the expression of the exporter LysE. Induction requires the presence of a coinducer, which is either intracellular L-lysine, L-arginine or L-citrulline. L-histidine also acts as coinducer of lysE expression, but this amino acid is not exported by LysE (PubMed:11429454, PubMed:27350619). The lysEG system prevents bacteriostasis due to elevated L-lysine or L-arginine concentrations that arise during growth in the presence of peptides or in mutants possessing a deregulated biosynthesis pathway (PubMed:11429454).<ref>PMID:11429454</ref> <ref>PMID:27350619</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Cell factories converting bio-based precursors to chemicals present an attractive avenue to a sustainable economy, yet screening of genetically diverse strain libraries to identify the best-performing whole-cell biocatalysts is a low-throughput endeavor. For this reason, transcriptional biosensors attract attention as they allow the screening of vast libraries when used in combination with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). However, broad ligand specificity of transcriptional regulators (TRs) often prohibits the development of such ultra-high-throughput screens. Here, we solve the structure of the TR LysG of Corynebacterium glutamicum, which detects all three basic amino acids. Based on this information, we follow a semi-rational engineering approach using a FACS-based screening/counterscreening strategy to generate an L-lysine insensitive LysG-based biosensor. This biosensor can be used to isolate L-histidine-producing strains by FACS, showing that TR engineering towards a more focused ligand spectrum can expand the scope of application of such metabolite sensors.
