Abstract excerpt
Two transcriptional activators, the FNR and NARL proteins, are required for induction of the fdnGHI operon, encoding Escherichia coli formate dehydrogenase-N. The FNR protein is required for anaerobic expression, while the NARL protein mediates nitrate induction. We used primer extension to locate the transcription initiation site 29 nucleotides upstream of the fdnG translation initiation codon. Expression assays...
