Abstract excerpt
The degree of sequence conservation of arginine repressor proteins (ArgR) and of the cognate operators (tandem pairs of 18 bp imperfect palindromes, ARG boxes) in evolutionarily distant bacteria is unusually high, and the global mechanism of ArgR-mediated regulation appears to be similar. However, here we demonstrate that the arginine repressor from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga neapolitana...
