We fused the N-terminal end of XylS to the maltose-binding protein (MBP) in vitro and found in glutaraldehyde cross-linking assays that the protein dimerized. Experiments with a chimeric N-terminal XylS linked to a ′LexA protein showed that the dimer was stabilized in the presence of alkylbenzoates. Sequence alignments with AraC and UreR allowed us to identify three residues, Leu193, Leu194, and Ile205, as potentially being involved in dimerization. Site-directed mutagenesis of XylS in which each of the above residues was replaced with Ala revealed that Leu193 and Leu194 were critical for activity and that a chimera in which LexA was linked to the N terminus of XylSLeu193Ala or XylSLeu194Ala was not functional. Dimerization of the chimeras MBP-N-XylSLeu193Ala and MBP-N-XylSLeu194Ala was not observed in cross-linking assays with glutaraldehyde. </jats:p> Leucines 193 and 194 at the N-Terminal Domain of the XylS Protein, the Positive Transcriptional Regulator of the TOL <i>meta</i> -Cleavage Pathway, Are Involved in Dimerization Journal of Bacteriology
