Description
RcnR is a protein that constantly represses PrcnA. When there is nickel in the media RcnR alters its form, making it impossible to bind PrcnA, activating the production of the HoxN protein. This last protein is an efficient nickel transporter form Ralstonia metallidurans that places in the membrane allowing the income of the metal into the cell.
Notes
None
Source
PrcnA comes from Escherichia coli regulatory system and hoxN comes from Cupriavidus metallidurans.
