Abstract excerpt
To investigate the activation mechanism of the enhancer-binding protein XylR encoded by the TOL plasmid of Pseudomonas putida mt-2, a combinatorial library was generated composed of shuffled N-terminal A domains of the homologous regulators DmpR, XylR and TbuT, reassembled within the XylR structure. When the library was screened in vivo for responsiveness to non-effectors bulkier than one aromatic ring (such as...
