== Function ==
'''Met repressor''' (MR) interacts with the DNA operator (Met box) repressing methionine synthesis.  The co-repressor of MR is S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) which is a product of methionine synthesis.  Binding of SAM to MR increases the repressor affinity to the DNA thus halting methionine synthesis<ref>PMID:8092669</ref>.  For additional details see<br />
[[Taylor met repressor]]<br />
