Transcriptional Regulation of Stress Response and Motility Functions in Helicobacter pylori Is Mediated by HspR and HrcA
10 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
The hrcA and hspR genes of Helicobacter pylori encode two transcriptional repressor proteins that negatively regulate expression of the groES-groEL and hrcA-grpE-dnaK operons. While HspR was previously shown to bind far upstream of the promoters transcribing these operons, the binding sites of HrcA were not identified. Here, we demonstrate by footprinting analysis that HrcA binds to operator elements similar to...
