Abstract excerpt
The foo operon encodes F165 1 fimbriae that belong to the P-regulatory family and are synthesized by septicemic Escherichia coli. Using an Lrp-deficient host and the lrp gene cloned under the arabinose pBAD promoter, we demonstrated that foo was transcribed proportionally to the amount of Lrp synthesized. L-leucine and L-alanine decreased drastically the steady-state transcription of foo and modified phase...
