The hydrogen bond network is characteristic of the MarR family as a whole.The binding of Zinc allows for the conformational change that induces the binding of DNA in order to activate genes. The binding of Zinc metals creates a hydrogen bond network within the protein that connects the metal binding sites and the DNA binding domain. More importantly, the hydrogen bonding network connects the metal binding pockets to the alpha 4 helix also known as the recognition helix. <scene name='69/694230/Recognition_helix/3'>Specific residues</scene> in the recognition helix recognize a sequence of DNA that is unknown at the moment; however, scientists do know that the hydrogen bond network acts as an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allosteric_regulation allosteric activator] for the protein to bind DNA. The hydrogen bond network connects the alpha 2 and alpha 4 helix via hydrogen bonding between specific residues. After zinc is bound, a glutamate (E24) residue from a random coil accepts a hydrogen bond from the carboxamide end of an asparagine (N38) residue from the alpha 2 helix. Then, a glutamine (Q40) residue from alpha 2 helix accepts a hydrogen bond from a serine (S74) residue from the alpha 4 helix <ref name="guerra" />. | ||
