Abstract excerpt
Expression of the Pseudomonas putida TOL plasmid upper pathway operon requires a promoter that belongs to the -12/-24 class. Stimulation of transcription from this promoter is positively controlled by the effector-activated XylR protein and requires a form of RNA-polymerase holoenzyme containing the RpoN-encoded sigma factor, sigma 54. XylR-dependent stimulation of transcription from the Pseudomonas TOL upper...
