Abstract excerpt
Expression of the bgl operon in Escherichia coli, induced by beta-glucosides, is positively regulated by BglG, a transcriptional antiterminator. In the presence of inducer, BglG dimerizes and binds to the bgl transcript to prevent premature termination of transcription. The dimeric state of BglG is determined by BglF, a membrane-bound enzyme II of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS),...
