Abstract

A crystal structure for a member of the AraC prokaryotic transcriptional activator family, MarA, in complex with its cognate DNA-binding site is described. MarA consists of two similar subdomains, each containing a helix–turn–helix DNA-binding motif. The two recognition helices of the motifs are inserted into adjacent major groove segments on the same face of the DNA but are separated by only 27 Å thereby bending the DNA by ≈35°. Extensive interactions between the recognition helices and the DNA major groove provide the sequence specificity.
