==Structural Features==
==Other Structural Features==
ToxT belongs to a family of transcriptional regulators headed by and known as AraC.<ref name="structure">PMID: 20133655</ref> The AraC family is characterized by a 100 amino acid region of sequence similarity that forms a DNA-binding domain with two helix-turn-helix motifs. <ref name="arac">PMID: 11282467</ref> The two HTH regions are linked by a very polar alpha helix. The overall domain is composed of seven alpha helices.<ref name="structure">PMID: 20133655</ref>
