Description (originally from EcoCyc[1][2]) FruR transcriptional dual regulator

Comments (originally from EcoCyc[2]) FruR is a dual transcriptional regulator that is implicated in the regulation of a large number of operons that encode enzymes, which comprise central pathways of carbon metabolism. It represses some operons (nirBDC-cysG, fruBKA, ptsHI-crr, and edd-eda) but activates others (aceBAK, icdA, pckA, and ppsA). It belongs to the GalR/LacI family of transcriptional regulators.

Cra was formerly known as FruR. Protein Complex FruR site length 14.

The wild-type Cra (FruR) protein binds to DNA as a homotetramer.

A microarray analysis for FruR of Escherichia coli was done by [3].
