CbbR, a LysR-type transcriptional regulator from Hydrogenophilus thermoluteolus, binds two cbb promoter regions

FEMS Microbiol Lett. 2001 May 1;198(2):151-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1574-6968.2001.tb10635.x.

Abstract

The cbbR encoding the LysR-type transcriptional regulator is located downstream of cbbLSQOYA and this gene is located upstream of cbbFPT in divergent transcription. The two promoter regions with LysR-binding sites are located in the cbbL upstream region and in the cbbR-cbbF intergenic region. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays using a cell extract of Escherichia coli harboring a plasmid containing cbbR and the DNA fragments of promoter regions indicated that CbbR binds in both regions. NADPH caused differences in the complex of CbbR and DNA.
