Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis gnt operon is negatively regulated by the gnt repressor (GntR, 243 amino acids), which is antagonized by gluconate. The GntR protein belongs to a new family of bacterial regulatory proteins (GntR family). To locate the DNA-binding domain of the GntR protein, we obtained mutations of this protein, by hydroxylamine mutagenesis, which diminish its operator binding ability. Sequence analysis of...
