We fused the wild-type Agrobacterium tumefaciens virG gene and the constitutive virGN54D allele to the malE gene of Escherichia coli, and studied the binding of MBP-VirG fusions to the autoregulated virG promoter. MBP-VirGN54D protein bound this promoter with 10-fold higher affinity than MBP-VirG, and bound to vir box I with eightfold higher affinity than to vir box III. Disruption of vir box III did not alter the affinity for vir box I, suggesting a lack of cooperativity between these sites. We provide evidence that protein bound at a single vir box may have a higher oligomeric state than non-bound protein, and that a DNA distortion adjacent to vir box I may occur during activation.
