a A BLAST search against SwissProt (Altschul et al. 1990; Bairoch and Apweiler 2000) identified 81 proteins with reasonable homology to LacI. Of these, 50 proteins contain both a DNA binding domain and full-length core and are included in this table.

b Bold numbers correspond to the amino acid residues of LacI.

c Underlined numbers correspond to the amino acid residues of PurR.
