Abstract excerpt
A model for the domain structure of sigma 54-dependent transcriptional activators, based on sequence data, has been tested by examining the function of truncated and chimaeric proteins. Removal of the N-terminal domain of NtrC abolishes transcriptional activation, indicating that this domain is positively required for activator function. Over-expression of this domain as a separate peptide appears to titrate out...
