1uxd is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli K-12. Full experimental information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
CRA_ECOLI Global transcriptional regulator, which plays an important role in the regulation of carbon metabolism. Activates transcription of genes encoding biosynthetic and oxidative enzymes (involved in Krebs cycle, glyoxylate shunt and gluconeogenesis, such as ppsA and fbp). Represses genes involved in sugar catabolism, such as fruB, pfkA, pykF and adhE. Binds asymmetrically to the two half-sites of its operator.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
