Abstract excerpt
Expression of mucD, encoding a homologue of the HtrA(DegP) family of endoserine proteases, was investigated in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Expressed from the algT-mucABCD operon, MucD was detected in mucoid (FRD1) and nonmucoid (PAO1) parental strains and also when polar insertions were placed upstream in algT or mucB. A transcriptional start site for a mucD promoter (PmucD) was mapped within mucC. Expression of...
