In addition to being the major citric acid cycle aconitase in Escherichia coli the aconitase B protein (AcnB) is also a post-transcriptional regulator of gene expression. The AcnB proteins represent a distinct branch of the aconitase superfamily that possess a HEAT-like domain (domain 5). The HEAT domains of other proteins are implicated in protein:protein interactions. Gel filtration analysis has now shown that...
