Superfamily: T3SS negative regulator GrlR

Structural domains comprising this superfamily share the structure of GrlRs, a family of negative regulators of T3SS also involved in lipid binding PMID:19228114.

The locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) is essential for virulence of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC). It is comprised of 41 proteins which encode for T3SS proteins in addition to three associated regulators: Ler, GrlA and GrlR. GrlA positively regulates the expression of ler, the first gene in the LEE1 operon, which in turn regulates the expression of various downstream genes involved in T3SS biogenesis. GrlR binds directly to GrlA and functions as an anti-regulator PMID:24092262.
