This is an SH3 domain which can be found in diphtheria toxin repressor (DtxR) proteins. DtxR) from Corynebacterium diphtheriae regulates the expression of the gene on corynebacteriophages that encodes diphtheria toxin (DT). Other genes regulated by DtxR include those that encode proteins involved in siderophore-mediated iron uptake [1].
Iron dependent repressor, metal binding and dimerisation domain
This family includes the Diphtheria toxin repressor [1]. It acts as an iron-binding repressor of diphtheria toxin gene expression and may serve as a global regulator of gene expression. DTXR comprises an N-terminal DNA-binding domain, an interface do ...
This family includes the Diphtheria toxin repressor [1]. It acts as an iron-binding repressor of diphtheria toxin gene expression and may serve as a global regulator of gene expression. DTXR comprises an N-terminal DNA-binding domain, an interface domain (which contains two metal-binding sites) and a third, very flexible C-terminal domain. The second domain is responsible for dimerization and metal binding. Binding of DTXR to Tox operator requires a divalent metal ion such as cobalt, ferric, manganese and nickel whereas zinc shows weak activation [2]. This domain can also bind Cd(II), Ca(II) and Cu(II) (Matilla et. al., FEMS Microbiology Reviews, fuab043, 45, 2021, 1. https://doi.org/10.1093/femsre/fuab043).
