winged helix DNA-binding protein
MarR family transcriptional regulator
The Mar proteins are involved in the multiple antibiotic resistance, a non-specific resistance system. The expression of the mar operon is controlled by a repressor, MarR. A large number of compounds induce transcription of the mar operon. This is thought to be due to the compound binding to MarR, and the resulting complex stops MarR binding to the DNA. With the MarR repression lost, transcription of the operon proceeds [1]. The structure of MarR is known [2] and shows MarR as a dimer with each subunit containing a winged-helix DNA binding motif.

ArsR family transcriptional regulator
ArsR family transcriptional regulator such as transcriptional regulator SlyA can specifically activate or repress expression of target genes
virulence master transcriptional regulator RovA
RovA, as found in Yersinia enterocolitica and Y. pestis, is a MarR family transcriptional regulator closely related to SlyA of Salmonella and Escherichia coli. It is a key regulator for a number of genes required for virulence.
transcriptional regulator SlyA
SlyA, a MarR family transcription factor, controls expression of many genes associated with virulence in species such as Salmonella.
