BSTF Data for BG10723

ORF IDBG10723
SynonymrocR
ClassHTH
Familyunique
Family descriptionsigma54 interact motif
Mutant/Isogenic strainQB5533/168(1)
Sensor
Target genesrocABC(1), rocDEF(2), rocG (4)
cis SequenceGCAAAATAATTTTGCAYT (UAS)(2). rocG expression depends on a sequence like UASlocated 1.5 kb beyond the end of the rocG coding region (4).
LigandOrnithine or citrulline is inducer (3).
CommentN-terminal part of RocR is an intramolecular repressor domain (3). AhrC involves protein-protein interaction with RocR (3). RocR-binding site as an 8 bp inverted repeat, separated by one base pair is present twice within the rocG-rocABC intergenic region, acting as both a DAS and an UAS (5).
