Abstract excerpt
The transcriptional antiterminator protein LicT regulates the expression of Bacillus subtilis operons involved in beta-glucoside metabolism. It consists of an N-terminal RNA-binding domain (co-antiterminator (CAT)) and two phosphorylatable phosphotransferase system regulation domains (PRD1 and PRD2). In the activated state, each PRD forms a dimeric unit with the phosphorylation sites totally buried at the dimer...
