In vivo expression from the RpoS-dependent P1 promoter of the osmotically regulated proU operon in Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium: activation by rho and hns mutations and by cold stress.

Abstract excerpt

Unlike the sigma(70)-controlled P2 promoter for the osmotically regulated proU operon of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, the sigma(s)-controlled P1 promoter situated further upstream appears not to contribute to expression of the proU structural genes under ordinary growth conditions. For S. enterica proU P1, there is evidence that promoter crypticity is the result of a transcription...
