Ros/MucR is a widespread family of bacterial zinc-finger (ZF) containing proteins that
integrate multiple functions such as virulence, symbiosis and/or cell cycle transcription. NMR …

The recent characterization of the prokaryotic Cys2His2 zinc-finger domain, identified in Ros
protein from Agrobacterium tumefaciens, has demonstrated that, although possessing a …

Ros/MucR is a widespread family of bacterial zinc-finger-containing proteins that integrate
multiple functions, such as symbiosis, virulence, transcription regulation, motility, production …

Classical zinc finger (ZF) domains were thought to be confined to the eukaryotic kingdom
until the transcriptional regulator Ros protein was identified in Agrobacterium tumefaciens …

A strict interplay is known to involve copper and zinc in many cellular processes. For this
reason, the results of copper's interaction with zinc binding proteins are of great interest. For …

The exact evolutionary origin of the zinc finger (ZF) domain is unknown, as it is still not clear
from which organisms it was first derived. However, the unique features of the ZF domains …

The first putative prokaryotic Cys2His2 zinc-finger domain has been identified in the
transcriptional regulator Ros from Agrobacterium tumefaciens, indicating that the Cys2His2 …

The specific arrangement of secondary elements in a local motif often totally relies on the
formation of coordination bonds between metal ions and protein ligands. This is typified by …

Transcriptional factors bearing a Cys2His2 zinc finger were thought to be confined to
eukaryotes, but recent studies have suggested their presence also in prokaryotes. In this …

Abstract The MucR/Ros family protein is conserved in alpha-proteobacteria and
characterized by its zinc-finger motif that has been proposed as the ancestral domain from …
