Sc zinc uptake regulator (Zur) affects both processes by controlling zinc homeostasis. It activates transcription by binding to palindromic Zur-box sequences upstream of -35 elements. Here we deciphered the molecular mechanism by which ScZur interacts with promoter DNA and Sc RNA polymerase (RNAP) by cryo-EM structures and biochemical assays. The ScZur-DNA structures reveal a sequential and cooperative binding of three ScZur dimers surrounding a Zur-box spaced 8 nt upstream from a -35 element. The ScRNAPsigmaHrdB-Zur-DNA structures define protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions involved in the principal housekeeping sigmaHrdB-dependent transcription initiation from a noncanonical promoter with a -10 element lacking the critical adenine residue at position -11 and a TTGCCC -35 element deviating from the canonical TTGACA motif. ScZur interacts with the C-terminal domain of ScRNAP alpha subunit (alphaCTD) in a complex structure trapped in an active conformation. Key ScZur-alphaCTD interfacial residues accounting for ScZur-dependent transcription activation were confirmed by mutational studies. Together, our structural and biochemical results provide a comprehensive model for transcription activation of Zur family regulators.
