Abstract excerpt
The events that take place at the prokaryotic enhancer of the Pu promoter of Pseudomonas putida prior to the engagement of the sigma 54-RNA polymerase (sigma 54-RNAP) have been studied in vitro. ATP hydrolysis by XylR, the cognate regulator of the system, is preceded by the multimerization of XylR at the enhancer, which is itself triggered by the sole allosteric effect of ATP binding to the protein. Since ADP is...
