Protein Family Models

This entry represents transcriptional regulatory proteins in Staphylococcal species including SarA and Rot [1-5]. Sar is a global regulator with both positive and negative effects that controls expression of several virulence factors and biofilm formation process in a cell density-dependent manner. Rot plays a key role in regulating S. aureus virulence through activation or repression of promoters that control expression of a large number of critical virulence factors [5].

The Mar proteins are involved in the multiple antibiotic resistance, a non-specific resistance system. The expression of the mar operon is controlled by a repressor, MarR. A large number of compounds induce transcription of the mar operon. This is thought to be due to the compound binding to MarR, and the resulting complex stops MarR binding to the DNA. With the MarR repression lost, transcription of the operon proceeds [1]. The structure of MarR is known [2] and shows MarR as a dimer with each subunit containing a winged-helix DNA binding motif.
