Abstract excerpt
The putative virulence factors of Vibrio vulnificus include an elastase, the gene product of vvpE. We previously demonstrated that vvpE expression is differentially directed by two different promoters in a growth phase-dependent manner. The activity of the stationaryphase promoter (promoter S (PS)) is dependent on RpoS and is also under the positive control of cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP). In this study,...
