RTP is a DNA binding protein from Bacillus Subtilis that uses a helix-loop-helix binding motif. In solution it shows a symmetric structure typical of the winged helix loop helix family, with an unstructured N-terminus end, first alpha helix (a1), unstructured loop that is equivalent to the first beta sheet (B1), helix loop helix structure (a2 - a3), 2 beta sheets with a connecting loop that makes up the 'wing' structure (B2 - B3) and an additional long alpha helix involved in dimerisation (a4).

{{STRUCTURE_1bm9 |  PDB=1bm9  |  SCENE=  }}
<scene name='Rtp_and_Tus_DNA_Binding/Wingup/1'>Wing-up</scene>: Contacts upstream with rtp dimer bound to A-site


<scene name='Rtp_and_Tus_DNA_Binding/Wingdown/1'>Wing-down</scene>: Contacts with phosphate backbone of downstream DNA


==Binding to B site==


The RTP binding site consists of a 30bp sequence consisting of two inperfect 16 bp repeats, the A site and the B site.
