Target genes include six stress-response transcriptional regulators: csgD, which is a master regulator of biofilm formation, appY, sxy, ycgF, fimB and rcdA itself. This indicates that a large number of genes must be regulated indirectly via these transcriptional regulators. Acts by binding to the upstream region of its target genes. Publication Abstract from PubMed RcdA is a helix-turn-helix (HTH) transcriptional regulator belonging to the TetR family. The protein regulates the transcription of curlin subunit gene D, the master regulator of biofilm formation. Moreover, it was predicted that it might be involved in the regulation of up to 27 different genes. However, an effector of RcdA and the environmental conditions which trigger RcdA action remain unknown. Herein, we report the first crystal structures of RcdA in complexes with ligands, trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris), which might serve as RcdA effectors. Based on these structures, the ligand-binding pocket of RcdA was characterized in detail. The conservation of the amino acid residues forming the ligand-binding cavity was analyzed and the comprehensive search for RcdA structural homologs was performed. This analysis indicated that RcdA is structurally similar to multidrug-binding TetR family members, however, its ligand-binding cavity differs significantly from the pockets of its structural homologs. The interaction of RcdA with TMAO and Tris indicates that the protein might be involved in alkaline stress response.
