Crystal structure of a sigma54-activator suggests the mechanism for the conformational switch necessary for sigma54 binding

Structural highlights
FunctionZRAR_SALTY Member of the two-component regulatory system ZraS/ZraR. When activated by ZraS it acts in conjunction with sigma-54 to regulate the expression of zraP. Positively autoregulates the expression of the zraSR operon (By similarity). Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe sigma(54)-dependent transcription in bacteria is associated with various stress and growth conditions. Activators of the sigma(54) protein contain a central domain belonging to the AAA+ superfamily of ATPases, members of which function in diverse cellular processes in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. We describe the X-ray structure of an N-terminal domain deletion of the ZraR protein from Salmonella typhimurium, which is a homologue of the general nitrogen regulatory protein NtrC, at 3A resolution. The structure reveals a hexameric ring that is typical for AAA+ containing proteins but which differs from the heptameric ring found in the crystal structure of the AAA+ domain of NtrC1 from Aquifex aeolicus. The dimerisation interface between DNA-binding domains observed in the crystal structure suggests that dodecamers, rather than hexamers, might be the functionally important oligomer.
