Scientists discuss in 'Dual roles of an essential cysteine residue in activity of a redox-regulated bacterial transcriptional activator' new findings in biological chemistry. According to a study from the United States, "CprK from Desulfitobacterium dehalogenans is the first characterized transcriptional regulator of anaerobic dehalorespiration and is controlled at two levels: redox and effector binding. In the reduced state and in the presence of chlorinated aromatic compounds, CprK positively regulates expression of the cpr gene cluster."
"One of the products of the cpr gene cluster is CprA, which catalyzes the reductive dehalogenation of chlorinated aromatic ...
