Crystal Structure of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Hypoxic Response Regulator DosR C-terminal Domain Crystal Form II
Structural highlights
FunctionDEVR_MYCTU Member of the two-component regulatory system DevR/DevS (also called DosR/DosS) involved in onset of the dormancy response (PubMed:15033981). Regulates an approximately 48-member regulon (PubMed:12953092, PubMed:11416222, PubMed:15033981, PubMed:18400743). When phosphorylated binds and activates the promoter of DevR regulon genes in response to hypoxia (PubMed:18359816, PubMed:21764934, PubMed:28977726). The presence of target DNA increases stability of phospho-DevR in vitro (PubMed:28977726). Activates its own transcription under hypoxic but not aerobic conditions, probably binds as a dimer to tandem binding sites within the devR and hspX promoters (PubMed:18359816). Accepts a phosphate group from DevS (DosS) and from DosT (PubMed:15033981, PubMed:15073296, PubMed:21764934, PubMed:28977726). Does not regulate transcription of dosT (PubMed:19487478).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe response regulator DosR is essential for promoting long-term survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis under low oxygen conditions in a dormant state and may be responsible for latent tuberculosis in one-third of the world's population. Here, we report crystal structures of full-length unphosphorylated DosR at 2.2 A resolution and its C-terminal DNA-binding domain at 1.7 A resolution. The full-length DosR structure reveals several features never seen before in other response regulators. The N-terminal domain of the full-length DosR structure has an unexpected (beta alpha)(4) topology instead of the canonical (beta alpha)(5) fold observed in other response regulators. The linker region adopts a unique conformation that contains two helices forming a four-helix bundle with two helices from another subunit, resulting in dimer formation. The C-terminal domain in the full-length DosR structure displays a novel location of helix alpha 10, which allows Gln199 to interact with the catalytic Asp54 residue of the N-terminal domain. In contrast, the structure of the DosR C-terminal domain alone displays a remarkable unstructured conformation for helix alpha 10 residues, different from the well-defined helical conformations in all other known structures, indicating considerable flexibility within the C-terminal domain. Our structures suggest a mode of DosR activation by phosphorylation via a helix rearrangement mechanism. Crystal structures of the response regulator DosR from Mycobacterium tuberculosis suggest a helix rearrangement mechanism for phosphorylation activation.,Wisedchaisri G, Wu M, Sherman DR, Hol WG J Mol Biol. 2008 Apr 18;378(1):227-42.
