Abstract excerpt
The hrcA gene of Bacillus subtilis codes for a transcriptional repressor protein that negatively regulates expression of the heptacistronic dnaK and the bicistronic groE operon by binding to an operator-element called CIRCE. Recently, we have published data suggesting that the activity of HrcA is modulated by the GroE chaperonin system. Biochemical analyses of the HrcA protein have been hampered so far by its...
