Abstract excerpt
The prevalent transcriptional repressor NrdR binds to highly conserved sequences in the promoter regions of prokaryotic operons encoding the essential enzyme ribonucleotide reductase. The NrdR-binding sites consist of two partially palindromic 16 bp sequences (NrdR boxes) separated by a 15-16 bp linker sequence. We have assessed the requirement of both boxes for binding, the propensity of different NrdRs to bind...
