Negatively regulates SigI1 activity through direct interaction (PubMed:20937888). Binding of the polysaccharide substrate to the extracellular C-terminal sensing domain of RsgI1 may induce a conformational change in its N-terminal cytoplasmic region, leading to the release and activation of SigI1 (Probable). Publication Abstract from PubMed The anaerobic, thermophilic, cellulosome-producing bacterium Clostridium thermocellum relies on a variety of carbohydrate-active enzymes in order to efficiently break down complex carbohydrates into utilizable simple sugars. The regulation mechanism of the cellulosomal genes was unknown until recently, when genomic analysis revealed a set of putative operons in C. thermocellum that encode sigma(I) factors (i.e. alternative sigma factors that control specialized regulon activation) and their cognate anti-sigma(I) factor (RsgI). These putative anti-sigma(I)-factor proteins have modules that are believed to be carbohydrate sensors. Three of these modules were crystallized and their three-dimensional structures were solved. The structures show a high overall degree of sequence and structural similarity to the cellulosomal family 3 carbohydrate-binding modules (CBM3s). The structures of the three carbohydrate sensors (RsgI-CBM3s) and a reference CBM3 are compared in the context of the structural determinants for the specificity of cellulose and complex carbohydrate binding. Fine structural variations among the RsgI-CBM3s appear to result in alternative substrate preferences for each of the sensors.
