Notes: The genes regulated by NanR, N-acetyl-neuraminic acid regulator, are involved in N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (or sialic acid) transport and metabolism Kalivoda KA,2003and in off-to-on switching of type 1 fimbriation; NanR is inactivated by N-acetyl-neuraminic acid Sohanpal BK,2004NanR is a member of the FadR/GntR family; Members of this family have two domains, an N-terminal domain with a helix-turn-helix DNA-binding motif and a C-terminal domain with dimerization and effector-binding motifs; Three-dimensional models of the N terminus of FadR and NanR show topological similarity and a ~26% sequence identity between them Kalivoda KA,2003NanR regulates transcription when it binds to a region of ~30 bp that contains three conserved motifs in tandem; However, this protein can be displaced from this region by N-acetyl-neuraminic acid; Although it has been shown that NanR can form homodimers in solution, its DNA-binding stoichiometry is unknown; When this protein is repressing transcription, it overlaps the whole promoter region Kalivoda KA,2003; Sohanpal BK,2004The region of 30 bp that NanR binds to is close to a Dam methylation site (GATC) Chu D,2008; Sohanpal BK,2004that appears to be necessary for induction of some genes of the NanR regulon Oshima T,2002 Methylation in these sites is prevented by NanR binding Chu D,2008; Sohanpal BK,2004; Transcription related; DNA binding; sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; intracellular; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; protein-DNA complex; transcription, DNA-dependent; operon; repressor
