Studies of the Bradyrhizobium japonicum nodD1 promoter: a repeated structure for the nod box.

abstract：:In previous work, we characterized the bases in an iteron of plasmid R6K that are important for the binding of pi protein monomers and dimers. Here we investigate the following six amino acids of pi, encoded by pir, hypothesized to be important for DNA contact: Ser71, Try74, Gly131, Gly211, Arg225, and Arg254. ...
