High-affinity promotor binding of YhaJ mediates a low signal leakage for effective DNT detection by Myeongbin Kim, Ryun Kang, Hye Min Park, Eun Bi Cho, Hye Rim Lee, Seong Eon Ryu

“…Such biosensors would decrease the damage to personnel who approach landmine fields. By the structure determination of the DNA-binding domain (DBD) of YhaJ and the structure-guided mutagenesis, we found that the mutation increasing the DNA binding affinity decreases the signal leakage in the absence of an effector, resulting in a significant enhancement of the response ratio for the DNT metabolite detection. …”
