Abstract excerpt
Mutations located in a new gene, hexY, in Erwinia carotovora ssp. carotovora (Ecc) and ssp. atroseptica (Eca) cause strong upregulation of production of exoenzyme virulence factors and motility. The hexY gene encodes a novel 14.4 kDa protein with no known homologues. The hexY mRNA transcript has an unusually long (525bp) 5' untranslated region, which may be important for post-transcriptional regulation. An...
