Abstract
CsoR/RcnR transcriptional repressors adopt a disc-shaped, all α-helical dimer of dimers tetrameric architecture, with a four-helix bundle the key structural feature of the dimer. Individual members of this large family of repressors coordinate Cu(I) or Ni(II)/Co(II) or perform cysteine sulfur chemistry in mitigating the effects of metal or metabolite toxicity, respectively. Here we highlight recent insights into the functional diversity of this fascinating family of repressors.Entities:
