Abstract excerpt
The bacteriophage Ø29 transcriptional regulator p4 binds to promoters of different intrinsic activities. The p4-DNA complex contains two identical protomers that make similar interactions with the target sequence 5'-AACTTTTT-15 bp-AAAATGTT-3'. To define how the various elements in the target sequence contribute to p4's affinity, we studied p4 binding to a series of mutated binding sites. The binding specificity...
