Function

Purine repressor (PurR) is a member of the lac repressor family. PurP binds DNA via a highly conserved helix-turn-helix at the N terminal (DBD). PurP contains a nucleotide co-repressor binding domain as well (CBD). PurP binds to a 16-bp operator sequence and co-regulates genes which are involved in the biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides[1].

Structural highlights

The . Water molecules are shown as red spheres. The DNA binding domain contains a and a hinge helix binding to to the DNA minor groove. [2].
