Abstract excerpt
SP_0782 from Streptococcus pneumoniae is a dimeric PC4-like protein binding single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), and is potentially involved in maintenance of genome stability and natural transformation. SP_0782 binds with different lengths of ssDNA in various patterns through accommodating nucleotides differently in its two DNA-binding regions (DBRs). Here, we report the characterization of a novel site, leucine 20...
