Type: | Family | Name: | HTH-type transcriptional regulator ArgP, Gammaproteobacteria |
Description: | This entry represents HTH-type transcriptional regulator ArgP from Gammaproteobacteria.ArgP (formally known as IciA) is a positive regulator of argK. It is a negative autoregulator in presence of arginine. It competes with DnaA for oriC iteron (13-mer) binding. It activates dnaA and nrd transcription. It has been demonstrated to be part of the pho regulon []. ArgP mutants convey canavanine (an L-arginine structural homologue) sensitivity []. ArgP also affects lysine biosynthesis in E. coli through regulating dapB Gene []. | Short Name: | ArgP_Gammaproteobact |
