Probing key DNA contacts in AraR-mediated transcriptional repression of the Bacillus subtilis arabinose regulon
In the absence of arabinose, the AraR transcription factor represses the expression of genes involved in the utilization of arabinose, xylose and galactose in Bacillus subtilis. AraR exhibits a chimeric organization: the N-terminal DNA-binding region belongs to the GntR family and the C-terminal eff...
