Abstract
Background: PerR from Streptococcus pyogenes is critical for bacterial virulence. Results: We determined the crystal structure of PerR and deduced the molecular mechanism of stress sensing and gene regulation by PerR. Conclusion: A novel structural motif present at theNterminus of PerR is important for metal binding, oxidative stress sensing, and GAS virulence. Significance: The structural elements of PerR identified here could potentially be targeted for therapeutic development.
