SMART: Pfam domain AraC

AraC_N

PFAM accession number:	PF06719
Interpro abstract (IPR009594):	This entry represents the N terminus of bacterial ARAC-type transcriptional regulators. In Escherichia coli these regulate the L-arabinose operon through sensing the presence of arabinose, and when the sugar is present, transmitting this information from the arabinose-binding domains to the protein s DNA-binding domains [ (PUBMED:12683999) ]. This family might represent the N-terminal arm of the protein, which binds to the C-terminal DNA binding domains to hold them in a state where the protein prefers to loop and remain non-activating [ (PUBMED:9600837) ].
