High resolution crystal structure of Sco5413, a widespread actinomycete MarR family transcriptional regulator of unknown function.

The crystal structure of Sco5413 from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) has been determined at 1.25 Å resolution, the highest resolution reported for a MarR family transcriptional regulator. Putative orthologs are encoded by the majority of sequenced actinomycete genomes, and may play roles in regulating growth and antibiotic production, but they have yet to be assigned a precise function.
