Antimony is an environmental toxic element associated with cancer, liver, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. The bacterium Comamonas testosterone JL40 was isolated in an antimony mine and is resistance to antimonite. The genes for resistance are regulated by the AntR repressor. We solved the x-ray crystal structure of AntR and show how antimonite is bound..
