Abstract excerpt
Silencing of the Escherichia coli bgl operon is mediated by histone-like protein H-NS and affected by other pleiotropic regulators, including sigma factor RpoS. Silencing is relieved and the bgl operon is activated in hns mutants and by mutations that map in the vicinity of the bgl promoter. However, the expression level of activated bgl operon derivatives varies with the strain background. Here it is shown that...
