Solution structure of dna binding domain of E. coli arac
Structural highlights
FunctionARAC_ECOLI This protein controls the expression of at least six genes that are involved in the transport and catabolism of L-arabinose. It regulates initiation of transcription of the araBAD operon and it also controls its own synthesis. The L-arabinose operon displays both positive and negative regulation through AraC. Publication Abstract from PubMedWe report the solution structure of the DNA binding domain of the Escherichia coli regulatory protein AraC determined in the absence of DNA. The 20 lowest energy structures, determined on the basis of 1507 unambiguous nuclear Overhauser restraints and 180 angle restraints, are well resolved with a pair wise backbone root mean square deviation of 0.7 A. The protein, free of DNA, is well folded in solution and contains seven helices arranged in two semi-independent sub domains, each containing one helix-turn-helix DNA binding motif, joined by a 19 residue central helix. This solution structure is discussed in the context of extensive biochemical and physiological data on AraC and with respect to the DNA-bound structures of the MarA and Rob homologs. Proteins 2009.
