EtnR1 is a DNA-binding protein that binds to the EtnP (BBa_K1996000) sequence. It is believed that this regulates the expression of ethylene-oxidising genes. In an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), it was found that EtnR1 binding to EtnP notably inhibits the migration of the DNA through the gel, indicating a strong binding affinity between EtnR1 protein and EtnP DNA (Figure 1).

EtnR1 - DNA-binding protein for EtnP in Mycobacterium NBB4

Putative transcription factor for enzymes involved in ethylene degradation pathway in Mycobacterium NBB4

Usage and Biology

EtnR1 is a DNA-binding protein that binds to the EtnP (BBa_K1996000) sequence. It is believed that this regulates the expression of ethylene-oxidising genes. In an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), it was found that EtnR1 binding to EtnP notably inhibits the migration of the DNA through the gel, indicating a strong binding affinity between EtnR1 protein and EtnP DNA (Figure 1).
