FadR, fatty acid sensor from E.coli str. K12

FadR is a transcription regulator, which, when not binds to acyl-CoA can either serve as an activator for fatty acid synthesis gene like FabA, FabB and etc. or a repressor for fatty acid degradation gene like FadA, FadB, FadD and etc. After long chain fatty acid is converted into fatty acyl- CoA by FadD, it can bind to FadR. This binding will alter the conformation of FadR, making it unable to bind to the DNA sequence it recognizes. To our knowledge, there is no promoter exists in nature that can respond solely to FadR since those promoters are often regulated by glucose concentration or oxidative stress and many other factors.
