| UniProt functional annotation for P0A881 | |||
| UniProt code: P0A881. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | This protein is an aporepressor. When complexed with L- tryptophan it binds the operator region of the trp operon (5'- ACTAGT-'3') and prevents the initiation of transcription. The complex also regulates trp repressor biosynthesis by binding to its regulatory region. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the TrpR family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
