Abstract excerpt
The expression of the bacterial flagellar genes follows a hierarchical pattern. In Rhodobacter sphaeroides the flagellar genes encoding the hook and basal body proteins are expressed from sigma54-dependent promoters. This type of promoters is always regulated by transcriptional activators that belong to the family of the enhancer-binding proteins (EBPs). We searched for possible EBPs in the genome of R....
