EthR is a transcriptional repressor that increases Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistance to ethionamide. In this study, the EthR-DNA interaction has been investigated by native electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry for the first time. The results show that up to six subunits of EthR are able to bind to its operator.
EthR是一种转录阻遏物,可增强结核分枝杆菌对乙硫异烟胺的耐药性。在本研究中,首次通过原生电喷雾电离质谱法研究了EthR与DNA的相互作用。结果表明,多达六个EthR亚基能够与其操纵基因结合。
