The structure of an ECF-sigma-dependent, light-inducible promoter from the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Nov 1998

Martínez-Argudo I, Ruiz-Vázquez R M, Murillo F J

Abstract excerpt

Expression of the Myxococcus xanthus gene crtl is controlled by a light-inducible promoter. The activity of this promoter depends on CarQ, a sigma factor of the extracytoplasmic function (ECF) subfamily. Here, we show thatthe minimum DNA stretch reproducing normal expression of crtl extends from a few bases upstream of the -35 position to a site well downstream of the transcriptional start. The downstream DNA...
