Type: | Family | Name: | Flavoprotein WrbA |
Description: | This entry represents a protein, WrbA, related to and slightly larger than flavodoxin. In Escherichia coli, this protein is produced during stationary phase, binds to the trp repressor, and makes trp operon repression more efficient. WrbA does not interact with the trp operator by itself. Three copies are found in Rhizobium meliloti(Sinorhizobium meliloti), and members are found in species in which homologues of the E. coli trp operon repressor TrpR () are not detected. | Short Name: | Flavoprotein_WrbA |
