2 Proteins

2.1 Protein Function

Positively regulates the transcription of the maltose regulon whose gene products are responsible for uptake and catabolism of malto-oligosaccharides (PMID: 2524384, PMID: 2538630, PMID: 3305511, PMID: 7040340). Specifically binds to the promoter region of its target genes, recognizing a short DNA motif called the MalT box (5'-GGA[TG]GA-3') (PMID: 2524384, PMID: 2538630). Displays weak ATPase activity, but this activity is not required for promoter binding (PMID: 2524384).
