Thermal regulation of fimA, the Escherichia coli gene coding for the type 1 fimbrial subunit protein.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Dec 1992

Dorman C J, Ní Bhriain N

Abstract excerpt

The effect of temperature on expression of fimA, the gene coding for the phase-variable type 1 fimbrial subunit protein of Escherichia coli K-12 was investigated. In a genetic background in which the orientation of the DNA fragment carrying the fimA promoter was determined by the activity of the 'orientationally unbiased' FimB recombinase, fimA transcription was consistently higher at 30 degrees C than at 37...
