Abstract excerpt
LicT belongs to an essential family of bacterial transcriptional antitermination proteins controlling the expression of sugar-metabolizing operons. When activated, they bind to nascent mRNAs, preventing premature arrest of transcription. The RNA binding capacity of the N-terminal domain CAT is controlled by phosphorylations of two homologous regulation modules by the phosphotransferase system (PTS). Previous...
