Abstract excerpt
The repressor protein of bacteriophage P22 binds to DNA as a homodimer. This dimerization is absolutely required for DNA binding. Dimerization is mediated by interactions between amino acids in the carboxyl (C)-terminal domain. We have constructed a plasmid, p22CT-1, which directs the overproduction of just the C-terminal domain of the P22 repressor (P22CT-1). Addition of P22CT-1 to DNA-bound P22 repressor causes...
