AraC-XylS database -- a family of positive transcriptional regulators in bacteria
What you can do:
Search information about a family of positive transcriptional regulators broadly distributed in bacteria.
Highlights:
- This database is a tutorial about the AraC/XylS family of positive transcriptional regulators from bacteria describing the functional, structural and sequence characteristics.
- It focuses on protein sequences and on the biological and functional features of each of the proteins that belong to this family.
- Each entry provides information on the protein itself, the annotated protein sequence and, when the crystal is available, a comprehensive representation of its three-dimensional structure.
- The organization of the database is based on an exhaustive analysis of the scientific literature.
- The data are interconnected and linked with other databases.
- Multiple alignments of the members of the family, an extensive collection of references and a tutorial about the family provide additional information.
