Abstract:
Streptococcus pneumoniae adhesin competence regulator (AdcR), the first metal-dependent member of the multiple antibiotic resistance regulator (MarR) family of proteins, represses the transcription of a high-affinity zinc-specific uptake transporter, a group of surface antigen zinc-binding pneumococcal histidine triad proteins (PhtA, PhtB, PhtD, and PhtE), and an AdcA homologue (AdcAII). The 2.0 Å resolution structure of Zn(II)-bound AdcR reveals a highly helical two-fold-symmetric dimer with two distinct metal-binding sites per protomer. Zn(II) is tetrahedrally coordinated by E24, H42, H108, and H112 in what defines the primary sensing site in AdcR. Site 2 is a tetracoordinate site whose function is currently unknown. NMR methyl group perturbation experiments reveal that Zn(II) drives a global change in the structure of apo-AdcR that stabilizes a conformation that is compatible with DNA binding. This co-repression mechanism is unprecedented in MarR transcriptional regulators.

Complex Evidence:
The MarR-type family transcriptional regulator, NadR is dimeric in solution (SE-HPLC/MALLS) as other MarR faimily proteins (PMID:18272181). Compared to ligand-stabilized holo-NadR, apo-NadR displayed an intrinsic flexibility focused in the DNA-binding region (PMID:27105075). The structural features of several family members have been described, they all have two subdomains: there is a helix-turn-helix (HTH) DNA-binding domain plus dimerization helices that form an interlocked dimerization domain. Dimerization is mediated by helices α1, α5, and α6 from each monomer resulting in an interlocked, tight dimer burying a large, hydrophobic solvent-accessible surface area. The structure of the dimerization region reveals domain swapping, where α1 of one subunit is inserted between α5′ and α6′ of the other subunit and forms a coiled coil with helix α6′ (PMID:19586910). The DNA-binding elements contain helices α3-α4 and strands β1-β2 from each monomer (PMID:29794028, PMID:35367827).
