Leucine-responsive protein

Leucine-responsive protein

Leucine responsive protein, or Lrp, is a global regulator protein, meaning that it regulates the biosynthesis of leucine, as well as the other branched-chain amino acids, valine and isoleucine. In bacteria, it is encoded by the "lrp" gene.

Lrp alternatively activates and represses the expression of acetolactate synthase's (ALS) several isoenzymes.Lrp, in E. coli, along with DAM plays a role in the regulation of the pap operon, pylonephritis associated pili.
