merR	BacMet ID: BAC0680 Code for: Regulator Family: Contains 1 HTH merR-type DNA-binding domain Sequence: FASTA Cross-database information: Link Organism: Staphylococcus aureus Location: Plasmid pI258 Compound: Mercury (Hg) Description: Mediates the mercuric-dependent induction of mercury resistance operon. In the absence of mercury MerR represses transcription by binding tightly to the mer operator region; when mercury is present the dimeric complex binds a single ion and becomes a potent transcriptional activator, while remaining bound to the mer site. Length (amino acid): 135 Reference: Laddaga et al. 1987; Pubmed- 3037534	Similar resistance genes in 'BacMet Predicted database'
