Escherichia coli positive regulator OmpR has a large loop structure at the putative RNA polymerase interaction site

Nature Structural Biology volume 4, pages 28–31 (1997)Cite this article

The C-terminal DNA-binding domain of OmpR, a positive regulator involved in osmoregulation expression of the ompF and ompC genes in Escherichia coli, has a helix-turn-helix variant motif. The ‘turn’ region, consisting of 11 residues, forms an RNA polymerase contact site.
