ParA helix turn helix domain The accurate segregation of DNA is essential for the faithful inheritance of genetic information. Segregation of the prototypical P1 plasmid par system requires two proteins, ParA and ParB, and a centromere. When bound to ATP, ParA mediates segregation by interacting with centromere-bound ParB, but when bound to ADP, ParA fulfills a different function: DNA-binding transcription autoregulation. ParA consists of an elongated N-terminal alpha-helix which mediates dimerization, a winged-HTH and a Walker-box containing C-domain. This entry describes the N-terminal alpha helix domain combined with the winged HTH region. |
