Description:
KstR2 (Rv3557c) is one of two TetR-family transcriptional repressors of cholesterol metabolism inMycobacterium tuberculosis. The ability to degrade cholesterol fully is important for pathogenesis, and therefore this repressor was expressed, purified and crystallized. Crystals of KstR2 diffracted to better than 1.9 Å resolution and belonged to space groupC2, with unit-cell parametersa = 72.3,b= 90.3,c= 49.7 Å, α = γ = 90, β = 128.2°.
