Abstract excerpt
The crystal structure of the Escherichia coli replication-terminator protein (Tus) bound to terminus-site (Ter) DNA has been determined at 2.7 A resolution.

This cleft accommodates locally deformed B-form Ter DNA and makes extensive contacts with the major groove, mainly through two interdomain...
