Distant cis-active sequences and sialic acid control the expression of fimB in Escherichia coli K-12.

Abstract excerpt

The phase variation of type 1 fimbriation in Escherichia coli is controlled by the inversion of a 314 bp element of DNA, determined by FimB (switching in both directions) or FimE (switching from the ON-to-OFF orientation predominantly), and influenced by auxiliary factors IHF, Lrp and H-NS. The fimB gene is separated from the divergently transcribed yjhATS operon by a large (1.4 kbp) intergenic region of unknown...
