Structural highlights
1ufr is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Thermus thermophilus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
[PYRR_THET8] Probably regulates transcriptional attenuation of the pyrimidine nucleotide (pyr) operon in response to exogenous pyrimidines. In contrast to pyr attenuation in Bacillus, PyrR from Thermus could act as a translational repressor: the binding of PyrR at its proposed recognition site in the transcript would prevent initiation of translation of the leader peptide, resulting in terminator formation and reduced expression of downstream genes (By similarity). Also displays uracil phosphoribosyltransferase activity (By similarity).
