Abstract excerpt
The hrcA gene of Bacillus subtilis encodes a transcriptional repressor protein which negatively controls the heat shock operons dnaK and groESL. Alignment of the HrcA protein with repressor proteins from the NCBI database revealed that it exhibits a striking homology near its N-terminal part with proteins of the DeoR family. This region contains a helix-turn-helix motif and has been shown to be involved in DNA...
