Structural analysis of the regulatory mechanism of MarR protein Rv2887 in M. tuberculosis

Abstract MarR family proteins are transcriptional regulators that control expression of bacterial proteins involved in metabolism, virulence, stress responses and multi-drug resistance, mainly via ligand-mediated attenuation of DNA binding. Greater understanding of their underlying regulatory mechan...
