In molecular biology the iron dependent repressors are a family of bacterial and archaeal transcriptional repressors.At their N-terminus they contain a dtxR-type HTH domain. This is a DNA-binding winged helix-turn-helix (wHTH) domain of about 65 amino acids present in metalloregulators of the dtxR/mntR family. The domain is named after Corynebacterium diphtheriae dtxR an iron-specific diphtheria toxin repressor and Bacillus subtilis mntR a manganese transport regulator.
