The RTP is organized into a dimer by the association of their long α helices within the C-terminus. The ‘winged helix’ is believed to be involved as the major DNA-binding domain however two of the α helices, at the centre of the protein, and two β strands, in the outer regions, have been suggested to fit adjacently into the major and minor grooves respectively. The unstructured N terminal region is may also have a role in DNA-binding. This binding interaction is different from the Tus-Ter interactions in ''E. coli''. | The RTP is organized into a dimer by the association of their long α helices within the C-terminus.
