Abstract excerpt
Repression of arginine anabolic genes and induction of arginine catabolic genes are mediated by a three-component protein complex, interacting with specific DNA sequences in the presence of arginine. Although ArgRI and Mcm1, two MADS-box proteins, and ArgRII, a zinc cluster protein, contain putative DNA binding domains, alone they are unable to bind the arginine boxes in vitro. Using purified glutathione...
