Notes: The NagC, N-acetylglucosamine, transcriptional dual regulator participates in regulating the phosphotransferase system (PTS) Pennetier C,2008 Its function is to coordinate the biosynthesis of the amino sugars, D-glucosamine (GlcN) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) with their catabolism Plumbridge JA.,1991; Plumbridge J.,2001; Plumbridge J,2004.The specific inducer for NagC is GlcNAc-6-P, the product of GlcNAc transport by the PTS Plumbridge JA.,1991; Plumbridge J.,2001 NagC is displaced from its DNA targets by interacting with GlcNAc-6-P Plumbridge JA.,1991Based on the structure of DgsA DNA-binding transcriptional repressor, models for the three-dimensional structure of NagC and for the binding of GlcNAc-6-P were developed Pennetier C,2008The Nag regulon consists of two divergent operons, nagE and nagBACD; nagC encodes the repressor of this regulon; Its localization within the inducible nagBACD operon is unusual, since most transcriptional dual regulators are located near the loci they control Plumbridge JA.,1991NagC is present at low levels within the bacterial cell Plumbridge JA.,1991The consensus sequence for the NagC-binding site has been determined via combination of native site comparisons, operator mutagenesis, and selection of DNA-binding fragments, Plumbridge J.,2001 The dual function of NagC requires it to bind simultaneously to two operators in order to form a DNA loop Plumbridge J.,2001 The strictly conserved TT/AA motif, located in both ends of the center of symmetry, is probably the major recognition point for NagC Plumbridge J.,2001NagC is a member of the ROK (repressor, ORFs, kinases) (NagC/XylR) family of proteins, which contains at least two distinct classes of proteins, xylose repressor (XylR) and a series of glucose/fructose kinases Titgemeyer F,1994; Hansen T,2002; NagC is similar to Mlc transcriptional dual regulator Cho S,2005 However, they have different specificities for select binding sites Plumbridge J.,2001.NagC has a helix-turn-helix motif in its N-terminal part Pennetier C,2008.; translation attenuation and efficiency; repressor; operon; activator; Transcription related; amino sugar conversions; transcription, DNA-dependent; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; carbohydrate metabolic process; intracellular; sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity; DNA binding; cytoplasm
