The quorum-sensing regulator ComA from Bacillus subtilis activates transcription using topologically distinct DNA motifs

ComA-like transcription factors regulate the quorum response in numerous Gram-positive bacteria. ComA proteins belong to the tetrahelical helix-turn-helix superfamily of transcriptional activators, which bind as homodimers to inverted sequence repeats in the DNA. Here, we report that ComA from Bacil...
