| PF12625 | Arabinose-binding domain of AraC transcription regulator, N-term | domain |
AraC is a bacterial transcriptional regulatory protein with a DNA-binding domain at the C-terminus, HTH_AraC, Pfam:PF00165, and this dimerisation domain which harbours the arabinose-binding pocket at the N-terminus. AraC positively and negatively regulates expression of the proteins required for the uptake and catabolism of the sugar L-arabinose 1,2,3].
