The activation domain of the MotA transcription factor from bacteriophage T4.

The EMBO journal - 15 Apr 1997

Finnin M S, Cicero M P, Davies C, Porter S J, White S W, Kreuzer K N

Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophage T4 encodes a transcription factor, MotA, that binds to the -30 region of middle-mode promoters and activates transcription by host RNA polymerase. We have solved the structure of the MotA activation domain to 2.2 A by X-ray crystallography, and have also determined its secondary structure by NMR. An area on the surface of the protein has a distinctive patch that is populated with acidic and...
