Abstract excerpt
CooA is a homodimeric transcriptional activator from Rhodospirillum rubrum containing one heme in each subunit. CO binding to the heme in its sensor domain activates CooA, facilitating the binding to DNA by its DNA-binding domain. The C-helix links the two domains and shapes an interface between...
