Dissecting the role of the N-terminal region of the Escherichia coli global transcription factor FNR.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Dec 2008

Yan Aixin, Kiley Patricia J

Abstract excerpt

The role of the N-terminal region of the transcription factor FNR, which immediately precedes the first ligand (Cys20) of the [4Fe-4S] cluster, was investigated. We found that truncation mutants that removed residues 2 to 16 and 2 to 17 had wild-type levels of FNR protein but surprisingly altered O(2) regulation.
