Proteins of the MucR/Ros family play a crucial role in bacterial infection or symbiosis with eukaryotic hosts. MucR from Sinorhizobium meliloti plays regulatory establishing host plant, both dependent and independent Quorum Sensing. Here, we report first characterization isolated by mass spectrometry demonstrate that this protein forms higher-order oligomers its native condition expression SEC-MALS. We show purified can bind DNA recognize region upstream ndvA gene EMSA, revealing is direct...
The transcriptional regulator MucR from Brucella species controls the expression of many genes, including those involved in virulence, by binding AT-rich DNA regions. and its homologs belong to Ros/MucR family, whose members occur α-proteobacteria. is a recent addition family histone-like nucleoid structuring (H-NS) proteins. Indeed, despite lack sequence homology, bears functional similarities with H-NS H-NS-like proteins, bacterial genome acting as global regulators transcription. Here we...
