Regulation of the Escherichia coli cad operon: location of a site required for acid induction.
The cad operon encodes lysine decarboxylase and a protein homologous to amino acid antiporters. These two genes are induced under conditions of low pH, anaerobiosis, and excess lysine. The upstream regulatory region of the cad operon has been cloned into lacZ expression vectors for analysis of the sequences involved in these responses. Deletion analysis of the upstream region and cloning of var...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of membrane lipid homeostasis in Escherichia coli.
The biophysical properties of membrane phospholipids are controlled by the composition of their constituent fatty acids and are tightly regulated in Escherichia coli. The FabR (fatty acid biosynthesis repressor) transcriptional repressor controls the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in the membrane by regulating the expression of the fabB (beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase I) and fabA (beta-hydro...
متن کاملRegulonDB: a database on transcriptional regulation in Escherichia coli
RegulonDB is a DataBase that integrates biological knowledge of the mechanisms that regulate the transcription initiation in Escherichia coli , as well as knowledge on the organization of the genes and regulatory signals into operons in the chromosome. The operon is the basic structure used in RegulonDB to describe the elements and properties of transcriptional regulation. The current version c...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation in constraints-based metabolic models of Escherichia coli.
Full genome sequences enable the construction of genome-scale in silico models of complex cellular functions. Genome-scale constraints-based models of Escherichia coli metabolism have been constructed and used to successfully interpret and predict cellular behavior under a range of conditions. These previous models do not account for regulation of gene transcription and thus cannot accurately p...
متن کاملRegulation of kdp operon expression in Escherichia coli: evidence against turgor as signal for transcriptional control.
Kdp, an inducible high-affinity K+ transporter in Escherichia coli, is encoded by genes of the kdpABC operon, and its expression is regulated by the products of kdpD and kdpE. Loss of cell turgor has been proposed to be the signal which induces kdp expression (L. A. Laimins, D. B. Rhoads, and W. Epstein, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78:464-468, 1981). We reexamined kdp expression during steady-st...
