Abstract excerpt
CysB is a tetrameric LysR-type transcriptional regulator that acts as an activator of cys regulon genes and as an autorepressor. Positive control of cys genes requires the presence of the inducer N-acetylserine. Following random and site-directed mutagenesis of the cysB gene, 20 CysB variants were isolated. Six single amino acid substitutions within the N terminus of CysB abolished the DNA-binding ability of the...
