The TTHA1719 gene from Thermus thermophilus HB8 encodes an orthologue of the copper-sensing transcriptional repressor CsoR. X-ray crystal structure analysis of T. thermophilus CsoR indicated that it forms a homotetramer. The structures of the CsoR monomer and dimer are similar to those of Mycobacterium tuberculosis CsoR. In the absence of copper ions, T. thermophilus CsoR bound to the promoter region of the copper-sensitive operon copZ-csoR-copA, which encodes the copper chaperone CopZ, CsoR and ...[more]
