摘要：

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 Angstrom thereby bending the DNA by approximate to 35 degrees. Extensive interactions between the recognition helices and the DNA major groove provide the sequence specificity.
