mocr
Description mocR-like proteins
Alternative names mocR;
GabR;
PtsJ
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Proteins that act primarily as transcriptional regulators, but retain an intact aminotransferase domain.
It is unclear whether they also possess a catalytic function (like the MalY subfamily of cystathionine beta-lyase, 4.4.1.8).
In C. glutamicum, genetic data suggest that a protein of the MocR family functions as an aminotransferase in valine biosynthesis. The gene encoding this protein is located upstream of a potential operon of a newly described pyridoxine biosynthetic pathway and when disrupted, gives rise to a pyridoxine auxotrophy.

According to Milano et al. (2015) at least three subgroups (possibly three families) can be distinguished within the MocR sequences.
