Coding for the trans-acting regulator SmtB

In 1993, Huckle and co-workers reported the isolation and analysis of the smt locus from Synechococcus sp.. Gene smtB, one of the components of the locus, encodes a transcriptional repressor of gene smtA, with which is required for normal tolerance to Zn2+ and Cd2+. The product of smtB functions by binding to the smt operator-promoter(smtO-P) and dissociating in the presence of Zn2+ due to the classical helix-turn-helix motif similar to many DNA-binding proteins. It can also be genomically rearranged when induced by Cd2+, leading to a deletion within smtB because of a highly iterated palindrome (HIP1), a highly represented octanucleotides(5′-GCGATC-GC-3′) which traverse both borders of the excised element. These two mechanisms both cause the elevated expression of smtA.
