Gensor Unit
Name:
GcvA
Description:
Molecular biology levelDetailed: In the absence of glycine and purine, GcvA negatively regulates its own expression, dually regulates the expression of genes required for glycine decarboxylation via glycine cleavage system and negatively regulates the expression of a small regulatory RNA. Under these conditions, GcvA remains unmodified, binds its target sites preventing its own expression, enabling the expression of a small regulatory RNA, and alternatively preventing and enabling the expression of other of its regulated genes.Less detailed: In the absence of glycine and purine GcvA negatively regulates its own expression, positively regulates the expression of a small regulatory RNA, and dually regulates the expression of genes needed for glycine decarboxylation via glycine cleavage system.Physiology levelDetailed: The presence of glycine and purine alternatively induces and inhibits the expression of genes involved with glycine decarboxylation via glycine cleavage system. Under these conditions the genes necessary for glycine decarboxylation through the H protein complex with release of CO2 and ammonia are dually expressed.Less detailed: The presence of glycine and purine alternatively induces and inhibits the expression of genes needful for glycine decarboxylation through the H protein complex with release of CO2 and ammonia.
