Expression of the chitobiose operon of Escherichia coli is regulated by three transcription factors: NagC, ChbR and CAP.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Apr 2004

Plumbridge Jacqueline, Pellegrini Olivier

Abstract excerpt

The chitobiose operon, chbBCARFG, encodes genes for the transport and degradation of the N-acetylglucosamine disaccharide, chitobiose. Chitobiose is transported by the phosphotransferase system (PTS) producing chitobiose-6P which is hydrolysed to GlcNAc-6P by the chbF gene product and then further degraded by the nagBA gene products. Expression of the chb operon is repressed by NagC, which regulates genes...
