Abstract excerpt
Cooperative association of the Escherichia coli biotin repressor with the biotin operator is allosterically activated by binding of the corepressor, bio-5'-AMP. The corepressor function of the adenylate is due, in part, to its ability to induce repressor dimerization. Since a high-resolution structure of only the apo or unliganded repressor is currently available, the location of the dimerization interface on the...
