Description | This entry represents the copper-, silver-and gold-(I) responsive transcriptional activator of the gammaproteobacterial copper efflux system [ ]. This protein is a member of the MerR family of transcriptional activators and contains a distinctive pattern of cysteine residues in its metal binding loop, Cys-X7-Cys. This family also lacks a conserved cysteine at the N-terminal end of the dimerization helix which is required for the binding of divalent metals such as zinc; here it is replaced by a serine residue []. | Name | Cu(I)-responsive transcriptional regulator |
