Abstract excerpt
The AmiC protein in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the negative regulator and ligand receptor for an amide-inducible aliphatic amidase operon. In the wild-type PAC1 strain, amidase expression is induced by acetamide or lactamide, but not by butyramide. A mutant strain of P. aeruginosa, PAC181, was selected for its sensitivity to induction by butyramide. The molecular basis for the butyramide inducible phenotype of...
