Collection of regulogs for AgaR transcription factor

AgaR repressor from the DeoR family of regulators has been previously characterized in Escherichia coli. AgaR binds in tandem to several repeat sequences in the intergenic regions of agaZ, agaR, and agaS to repress transcription. Using comparative genomic analysis we identified 4 distinct types of candidate AgaR-binding DNA motifs associated with the aga genes. All four motifs are repeats that share a common sequence pattern, CTTTC. The reconstructed AgaR regulons controls various enzymes and transporters involved in the N-acetylgalactosamine and galactosamine [22711537].
