Article: Research findings from University of Illinois, Department of Microbiology update understanding of DNA research.

Researchers detail in 'N- and C-terminal regions of the quorum-sensing activator TraR cooperate in interactions with the alpha and sigma-70 components of RNA polymerase,' new data in dna research. "Positive control (PC) mutants defining 20 residues of the quorum-sensing activator TraR were isolated that bind DNA but show defects in activating transcription from class I, class II or both types of promoters. These PC residues, located in both the N-and C-terminal regions, combine to form three patches, one on the top (II) and two near the DNA binding domain on both lateral faces of the dimer (I and III)," scientists in the United States report (see also DNA Research).
