Previous studies have shown that the clcABD operon is under the transcriptional control of the LysR-type activator ClcR. In this study, the conditions leading to its aggregation were avoided and ClcR was purified and confirmed by amino-terminal sequencing. Gel filtration indicated that ClcR exists as a dimer in solution. The DNase I footprint of ClcR was determined. The binding properties of ClcR and the catechol operon regulator, CatR, were compared.
先前的研究表明,clcABD操纵子受LysR型激活剂ClcR的转录控制。在本研究中,避免了导致其聚集的条件,并对ClcR进行了纯化,通过氨基末端测序进行了确认。凝胶过滤表明,ClcR在溶液中以二聚体形式存在。测定了ClcR的DNase I足迹。比较了ClcR与儿茶酚操纵子调节因子CatR的结合特性。
