Name:
TreR
Description:
Molecular biology levelDetailed: In the absence of trehalose and trehalose-6-phosphate, TreR negatively regulates the expression of genes required for thehalose catabolic process. Under these conditions, TreR remains unmodified, binds its target sites preventing the expression of its regulated genes.Less detailed: In the absence of trehalose and trehalose-6-phosphate, TreR negatively regulates the expression of genes needed for trehalose catabolism.Physiology levelDetailed: The presence of trehalose induces the expression involved with trehalose utilization. Under these conditions the genes necessary for transport and conversion of trehalose-6-phosphate to glucose- 6- phosphate are expressed.Less detailed: The presence of threhalose induces the expression of genes needful for trehalose-6-phosphate transport and conversion to glucose-6-phosphate.
Transport of HPr - phosphorylated_Ext, trehalose_Ext through a bacterial membrane, leading to the presence of α,α-trehalose 6-phosphate, PtsH inside the cell.
