Names and origin

Protein namesRecommended name:
Arabinose operon regulatory protein
Gene names
Name:araC
Ordered Locus Names:b0064, JW0063
OrganismEscherichia coli (strain K12)
Taxonomic identifier83333 [NCBI]
Taxonomic lineageBacteriaProteobacteriaGammaproteobacteriaEnterobacterialesEnterobacteriaceaeEscherichia

Protein attributes

Sequence length292 AA.
Sequence statusComplete.
Protein existenceEvidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function

This protein controls the expression of at least six genes that are involved in the transport and catabolism of L-arabinose. It regulates initiation of transcription of the araBAD operon and it also controls its own synthesis. The L-arabinose operon displays both positive and negative regulation through AraC.

Subunit structure

Homodimer.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm.

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 HTH araC/xylS-type DNA-binding domain.
