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.

The sensor domains of the DeoR are catalytically inactive versions of the ISOCOT fold, but retain the substrate binding site [1]. DeorC senses diverse sugar derivatives such as deoxyribose nucleoside (DeoR), tagatose phosphate (LacR), galactosamine (AgaR), myo-inositol (Bacillus IolR) and L-ascorbate (UlaR) [1,2]. It can also bind L-ascorbate 6-phosphate, agrocinopines, sn-glycerol 3-phosphate, and sulfoquinovose (Matilla et. al., FEMS Microbiology Reviews, fuab043, 45, 2021, 1. https://doi.org/10.1093/femsre/fuab043).
