Name:
ChbR
Description:
Molecular biology levelDetailed: In the presence and absence of monoacetylchitobiose-6-phosphate, ChbR dually regulates its own expression and the expression of genes required for diacetylchitobiose import, diacetylchitobiose catabolic process, cellobiose transport, cellobiose catabolic process. Under these conditions, diacetylchitobiose is transformed to monoacetylchitobiose-6-phosphate and ChbR is modified to ChbR-monoacetylchitobiose-6-phosphate, binds its target sites enabling or preventing the expression of its regulated genes. In the absence of monoacetylchitobiose-6-phosphate, ChbR unbinds its target sites both enabling and preventing the expression of its regulated genes.Less detailed: In the presence and absence of monoacetylchitobiose-6-phosphate, ChbR dually regulates the expression of genes needed for diacetylchitobiose import and catabolic process and cellobiose transport and catabolic process.Physiology levelDetailed: The presence of monoacetylchitobiose-6-phosphate induces and inhibits the expression of genes involved with diacetylchitobiose import and catabolic process and cellobiose transport and catabolic process. Under these conditions, the genes necessary for diacetylchitobiose transport and conversion to N-acetyl-glucosamine-6-phosphate and chitosamine; and for cellobiose transport and conversion to Glucose-6-phosphate, are dually expressed.Less detailed:

Transport of HPr - phosphorylated_Ext, chitobiose_Ext through a bacterial membrane, leading to the presence of diacetylchitobiose 6-phosphate, PtsH inside the cell.
Transport of HPr - phosphorylated_Ext, beta-D-cellobiose_Ext through a bacterial membrane, leading to the presence of beta-D-cellobiose-6'-p, PtsH inside the cell.
