'''APO FORM OF ESCHERICHIA COLI REGULATORY PROTEIN ARAC'''<br />


==Overview==
==APO FORM OF ESCHERICHIA COLI REGULATORY PROTEIN ARAC==
The crystal structure of the arabinose-binding and dimerization domain of, the Escherchia coli gene regulatory protein AraC was determined in the, presence and absence of L-arabinose. The 1.5 angstrom structure of the, arabinose-bound molecule shows that the protein adopts an unusual fold, binding sugar within a beta barrel and completely burying the arabinose, with the amino-terminal arm of the protein. Dimer contacts in the presence, of arabinose are mediated by an antiparallel coiled-coil. In the 2.8, angstrom structure of the uncomplexed protein, the amino-terminal arm is, disordered, uncovering the sugar-binding pocket and allowing it to serve, as an oligomerization interface. The ligand-gated oligomerization as seen, in AraC provides the basis of a plausible mechanism for modulating the, protein's DNA-looping properties.

== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ARAC_ECOLI ARAC_ECOLI] This protein controls the expression of at least six genes that are involved in the transport and catabolism of L-arabinose. It regulates initiation of transcription of the araBAD operon and it also controls its own synthesis. The L-arabinose operon displays both positive and negative regulation through AraC.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The crystal structure of the arabinose-binding and dimerization domain of the Escherchia coli gene regulatory protein AraC was determined in the presence and absence of L-arabinose. The 1.5 angstrom structure of the arabinose-bound molecule shows that the protein adopts an unusual fold, binding sugar within a beta barrel and completely burying the arabinose with the amino-terminal arm of the protein. Dimer contacts in the presence of arabinose are mediated by an antiparallel coiled-coil. In the 2.8 angstrom structure of the uncomplexed protein, the amino-terminal arm is disordered, uncovering the sugar-binding pocket and allowing it to serve as an oligomerization interface. The ligand-gated oligomerization as seen in AraC provides the basis of a plausible mechanism for modulating the protein's DNA-looping properties.
