Mutations of the act promoter in Myxococcus xanthus.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations within the -12 and -24 elements provide evidence that the act promoter is recognized by sigma-54 RNA polymerase. Deletion of the -20 base pair, which lies between the two conserved elements of sigma-54 promoters, decreased expression by 90%. In addition, mutation of a potential enhancer sequence, around -120, led to an 80% reduction in act gene expression. actB, the second gene in the act operon,...
