One member of this family, TrmB, has been shown to be a sugar-specific transcriptional regulator of the trehalose/maltose ABC transporter [2] in Thermococcus litoralis.
TrmB is an alpha-glucoside sensing transcriptional regulator. The protein is the transcriptional repressor for gene cluster encoding trehalose/maltose ABC transporter in T.litoralis and P.furiosus [1]. TrmB has lost its DNA binding domain but retaine ...
TrmB is an alpha-glucoside sensing transcriptional regulator. The protein is the transcriptional repressor for gene cluster encoding trehalose/maltose ABC transporter in T.litoralis and P.furiosus [1]. TrmB has lost its DNA binding domain but retained its sugar recognition site. A nonreducing glucosyl residue is shared by all substrates bound to TrmB which suggests that its a common recognition motif [1]. The sugar-binding domain (EBD) consists of two subdomains, N- and C-terminal. This entry represents the N-terminal subdomain [2], which adops a phospholiase D-like fold. The sugar binding site is on the surface of the cleft between the two subdomains. TrmBL2 lacks the C-terminal subdomain [2].
