Transcriptional Regulation of the <i>virR</i> Operon of the Intracellular Pathogen <i>Rhodococcus equi</i>
12 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
The virR operon, located on the virulence plasmid of the intracellular pathogen Rhodococcus equi, contains five genes, two of which (virR and orf8) encode transcriptional regulators. The first gene of the operon (virR), encoding a LysR-type transcriptional regulator, is transcribed at a constitutive low level, whereas the four downstream genes are induced by low pH and high growth temperature. Differential...
