VqsR is a quorum-sensing (QS) transcriptional regulator which controls QS systems (las,rhlandpqs) by directly downregulating the expression ofqscRinPseudomonas aeruginosa. As a member of the LuxR family of proteins, VqsR shares the common motif of a helix–turn–helix (HTH)-type DNA-binding domain at the C-terminus, while the function of its N-terminal domain remains obscure. Here, the crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of VqsR (VqsR-N; residues 1–193) was determined at a resolution of 2.1 Å. The structure is folded into a regular α–β–α sandwich topology, which is similar to the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of the LuxR-type QS receptors. Although their sequence similarity is very low, structural comparison reveals that VqsR-N has a conserved enclosed cavity which could recognize acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) as in other LuxR-type AHL receptors. The structure suggests that VqsR could be a potential AHL receptor.

The CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) has evolved to improve the efficiency of photosynthesis in autotrophic cyanobacteria. CmpR, a LysR-type transcriptional regulator (LTTR) from Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, was found to regulate CCM-related genes under low-CO2 conditions. Here, the dimeric structure of the effector-binding domain of CmpR (CmpR-EBD) in complex with the co-activator ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) is reported at 2.15 Å resolution. One RuBP molecule binds to the inter-domain cleft between the two subunits of the CmpR-EBD dimer. Structural comparison combined with sequence analyses demonstrated that CmpR-EBD has an overall structure similar to those of LTTRs of known structure, but possesses a distinctly different effector-binding pattern.
