Protein Family Models

Region 4 of sigma-70 like sigma-factors are involved in binding to the -35 promoter element via a helix-turn-helix motif [1]. Due to the way Pfam works, the threshold has been set artificially high to prevent overlaps with other helix-turn-helix families. Therefore there are many false negatives. [1]. 11931761.

This large family of DNA binding helix-turn helix proteins includes Cro Swiss:P03036 and CI Swiss:P03034. Within the protein Swiss:Q5F9C2, the full protein fold incorporates a helix-turn-helix motif, but the function of this member is unlikely to be that of a DNA-binding regulator, the function of most other members, so is not necessarily characteristic of the whole family [1].
