Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis global regulator AbrB is a DNA-binding protein composed of six identical monomers of 96 amino acids that shows specificity to the promoter regions of its target genes including its own. We have sequenced thirteen previously uncharacterized abrB mutations. Four mutant AbrB pr...
