Abstract excerpt
In this study, we have analyzed an ORF from Corynebacterium glutamicum, which codes for a homologue of the Streptomyces coelicolor WhiB-family of proteins known to be involved in sporulation. This ORF encoded a putative protein which harbors a helix-turn-helix DNA-binding motif and a probable redox-sensing motif, and has been designated whcE. We constructed a whcE mutant strain and analyzed the strain under a...
