1fx7 is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
IDER_MYCTU Metal-dependent DNA-binding protein that controls transcription of many genes involved in iron metabolism. Acts as a repressor of siderophore biosynthesis and as a positive modulator of iron storage. Also regulates expression of transporters, proteins involved in siderophore synthesis, iron storage and transcriptional regulators.[1][2]
