DevR is proposed as a promising target for developing drugs against dormant bacteria. It induces the expression of target genes by interacting with DNA motifs located in their promoter regions. An understanding of DNA-pro-tein interactions is expected to facilitate the development of inhibitors targeting DevR. Only three amino acids in DevR namely Lys179 Lys182 and Asn183 directly contact nucleotide bases in the DNA motif. The present study was designed to decipher the contribution of Lys182 in DevR function. M. tuberculosis fdxA Rv2007c a member of the DevR regulon was selected for this analysis. Its transcriptional start point was mapped at -1 or -2 with respect to the putative translational start site suggesting that fdxA is expressed as a leaderless mRNA. DNase I footprinting led to the discovery of a secondary binding site and induction of the fdxA promoter is explained by the cooperative binding of DevR to two binding sites. Mutation of Lys182 lowers the DNA binding affinity of DevR and .
