Positive regulation of the pts operon of Escherichia coli: genetic evidence for a signal transduction mechanism.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jan 1991

De Reuse H, Danchin A

Abstract excerpt

The pts operon of Escherichia coli is composed of the genes ptsH, ptsI, and crr, which code for three proteins of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS): the HPr, enzyme I (EI), and EIIIGlc proteins, respectively. These three genes are organized in a complex operon in w...
