Summary: cadC transcription is repressed by multicopy leuO. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG10133]. CadC is a metal-sensitive transcriptional activator that regulates the expression of genes involved in cadaverine synthesis and excretion under low external pH and high concentrations of lysine . [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG10133].

What's a GeneRIF?

Here, the authors present the crystal structure of the CadC DNA-binding domain (DBD) and show that it adopts a winged helix-turn-helix fold.
Title: Structure-function analysis of the DNA-binding domain of a transmembrane transcriptional activator.
The disordered CadC linker is required for transducing the pH-dependent response of the periplasmic sensor into a structural rearrangement that facilitates dimerization of the cytoplasmic CadC DNA-binding domain.
Title: Structural and Functional Analysis of the Signal-Transducing Linker in the pH-Responsive One-Component System CadC of Escherichia coli.
Upon induction, lysine-dependent conformational changes in LysP transduce the lysine signal via a direct conformational coupling to CadC without resolving the interaction completely.
Title: New insights into the interplay between the lysine transporter LysP and the pH sensor CadC in Escherichia coli.
Substitution of Cys208 and/or Cys272 by alanine resulted in CadC derivatives that were active in response to only one stimulus, either lysine or pH 5.8.
Title: Detection and function of an intramolecular disulfide bond in the pH-responsive CadC of Escherichia coli.
Results describe the crystal structure of CadC(pd) (residues 188-512) solved at a resolution of 1.8 A via multiple wavelength anomalous dispersion (MAD) using a ReCl(6)(2-) derivative.
Title: Crystal structure of the sensory domain of Escherichia coli CadC, a member of the ToxR-like protein family.
The authors present evidence that CadC negatively regulates the expression of the arginine-dependent adaptive acid-resistance system (AR3), encoded by the adi locus while it has no effect on the expression of AR1 and AR2 systems.
Title: Interference of the CadC regulator in the arginine-dependent acid resistance system of Shigella and enteroinvasive E. coli.
The results suggest a model according to which CadC is inactivated by an interaction with LysP at a low external lysine concentration.
Title: The membrane-integrated transcriptional activator CadC of Escherichia coli senses lysine indirectly via the interaction with the lysine permease LysP.
The transcriptional activator CadC in Escherichia coli, a member of the ToxR-like proteins, activates transcription of the cadBA operon encoding the lysine decarboxylase CadA and the lysine-cadaverine antiporter CadB
Title: CadC-mediated activation of the cadBA promoter in Escherichia coli.
