Functional diversification of ROK-family transcriptional regulators of sugar catabolism in the Thermotogae phylum

Large and functionally heterogeneous families of transcription factors have complex evolutionary histories. What shapes specificities toward effectors and DNA sites in paralogous regulators is a fundamental question in biology. Bacteria from the deep-branching lineage Thermotogae possess multiple pa...
