Met repressor

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. For additional details see Taylor met repressor Joe Granger Methionine Repressor: Escherichia coli. Structural highlights EcMR (mutant) with corepressor SAM, Ca+2 ion and DNA. SAM binds to MR in a hydrophobic pocket between 2 monomers.
