Abstract excerpt
The rpoN gene, which codes for the alternative transcription factor sigma54, was cloned and sequenced from Rhizobium leguminosarum strain VF39SM. Construction of a rpoN mutant allowed analysis of the role of RpoN as a transcriptional regulator of genes carrying lacZ reporter fusions. Analysis of a rpoN::lacZ transcriptional fusion in the rpoN background revealed that this gene was negatively autoregulated....
