Gene name
malT

Comments [?]

Function Positively regulates the transcription of the maltose regulon whose gene products are responsible for uptake and catabolism of malto-oligosaccharides. Specifically binds to the promoter region of its target genes, recognizing a short DNA motif called the MalT box.
Activity regulation Activated by ATP and maltotriose, which are both required for DNA binding.
Subunit Monomer in solution. Oligomerizes to an active state in the presence of the positive effectors ATP and maltotriose.
Similarity Belongs to the MalT family.
