Mutations in FlbD that relieve the dependency on flagellum assembly alter the temporal and spatial pattern of developmental transcription in Caulobacter crescentus.

Abstract excerpt

The transcription factor FlbD regulates the temporal and spatial transcription of flagellar genes in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus. Activation of FlbD requires cell cycle progression and the assembly of an early (class II) flagellum structure. In this report, we identify 20 independent gain-of-function mutations in flbD that relieve regulation by flagellar assembly. One of these, flbD-1204, contained a...
