Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The pts operon of Escherichia coli consists of three genes ptsH, ptsI and crr, each encoding for central components of the phosphoenolpyruvate: carbohydrate phosphotransferase system, HPr, enzyme I and IIAGlc, respectively. Transcription of the pts operon is stimulated when glucose is present in the culture medium. One of the two major promoters, P0, is responsible for this glucose induction. However,...
