Abstract excerpt
We have identified the DNA-binding domain (DBD) of an Escherichia coli activator protein PhoB as its C-terminal 91 residues. Four amino acid positions in the PhoB DBD are found important for interaction with the RNA polymerase holoenzyme that contains the sigma 70 subunit. Assuming that the PhoB DBD is structurally similar to the histone H5 DBD, the four positions are placed around the turn region that connects...
