Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor ThrA, which belongs to the MerR transcription regulators, in Bacillus subtilis cells controls genes of nitrogen metabolism under conditions of nitrogen limitation. As all the DNA-binding proteins, it is present as a dimer in cells, but the dimerization site is still unknown. The multiple alignment of TnrA homologs from the other Bacilli allowed to identify the putative dimerization sites....
