We studied DNA binding of a transcriptional repressor, CopF, displayed on a filamentous phage. Mutagenesis of a putative helix-turn-helix motif of CopF and of certain bases of the operator abolished the protein-DNA interaction, establishing the elements involved in CopF function and showing that phage display can be used to study repressor proteins.
