Abstract excerpt
E. coli sigma 54 protein confers on promoters containing its recognition sequence the ability to be activated from distant DNA sites. Its functional domains include two leucine zipper motifs, an acidic region, and a glutamine-rich domain. Several domains were disrupted and the assembly of mutant...
