Type: | Family | Name: | Anaerobic ribonucleoside-triphosphate reductase activator |
Description: | Members of this entry represent a set of proteins related to, yet architecturally different from, the activating protein for the glycine radical-containing, oxygen-sensitive ribonucleoside-triphosphate reductase (RNR, see ). Members of this entry are found paired with members of a similarly divergent set of anaerobic ribonucleoside-triphosphate reductases. Identification of these proteins as RNR activating proteins is partly from pairing with the candidate RNR and further supported by the finding that upstream of these operons are examples of a conserved regulatory element that is found in nearly all bacteria and that occurs specifically upstream of operons for all three classes of RNR genes []. | Short Name: | Anaer_RNR_activator |
