TraY DNA recognition of its two F factor binding sites.

Journal of molecular biology - 23 Aug 2002

Lum Pamela L, Rodgers Michael E, Schildbach Joel F

Abstract excerpt

F factor TraY, a ribbon-helix-helix DNA-binding protein, performs two roles in bacterial conjugation. TraY binds the F origin of transfer (oriT) to promote nicking of plasmid DNA prior to conjugative transfer. TraY also binds the P(Y) promoter to up-regulate tra gene expression. The two plasmid regions bound by TraY share limited sequence identity, yet TraY binds them with similar affinities. TraY recognition of...
