Abstract
The amino acid sequences of the repressor and cro proteins of phages lambda, 434 and P22 are homologous, especially in a region in which repressor and lambda cro have a similar alpha-helix-turn-alpha-helix secondary structure. Model-building studies indicate that this structure is important in DNA binding, and we suggest it may be a common feature of many DNa-binding proteins.Mesh:
