Direct and indirect transcriptional activation of virulence genes by an AraC‐like protein, PerA from enteropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i>
8 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
The plasmid-encoded Per regulatory locus of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is generally considered to consist of three genes, perA, perB and perC. PerA, a member of the AraC-like family of transcriptional regulators, is known to be an activator of its own promoter (autoactivation) as well as of the plasmid-located bfp operon encoding bundle-forming pili, but its role in activation of the chromosomal...
