UreR: urea-responsive transcriptional regulator

Proteus mirabilis encodes the transcriptional regulator UreR of the Urease gene cluster belonging to the AraC/XylS family of transcriptional regulators. UreR upregulates the gene clusters’ subunit transcription and recruits the accessory proteins (UreDABCEFG), when accompanied by urea, to form an active urease [2].
