The phosphate-binding loop of sigma54-dependent activators is thought to participate in ATP binding and/or hydrolysis. Alanine substitutions at positions 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 of this motif in Rhizobium meliloti DctD disrupted transcriptional activation and ATP hydrolysis. Interestingly, substitution of alanine at position 7 also affected DNA binding.
σ54 依赖性激活因子的磷酸结合环被认为参与 ATP 的结合和/或水解。苜蓿根瘤菌 DctD 中该基序第 3、4、6、7 和 8 位的丙氨酸取代破坏了转录激活和 ATP 水解。有趣的是,第 7 位丙氨酸的取代也影响了 DNA 结合。
