    -  Comments
  • FUNCTION:Multifunctional regulator of fatty acid metabolism. Represses transcription of at least eight genes required for fatty acid transport and beta-oxidation among which fadA, fadB, fadD, fadL and fadE. Activates transcription of at least three genes required for unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis:fabA, fabB and iclR, the gene encoding the transcriptional regulator of the aceBAK operon encoding the glyoxylate shunt enzymes. Binding of fadR is specifically inhibited by long chain fatty acyl-CoA compounds.
  • SUBUNIT:Homodimer.
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION:Cytoplasmic (Potential).
  • DOMAIN:The C-terminal domain bind acyl-CoA.
  • SIMILARITY:Contains 1 HTH gntR-type DNA-binding domain.
