Abstract excerpt
The nodulation (nod) genes of the symbiont Rhizobium meliloti are transcriptionally controlled by protein activators in the nodD gene family. While NodD1 and NodD2 act in concert with small molecular weight inducers provided by the host legume plant, NodD3 is an inducer-independent activator of the nod promoters. We determined the sequence of the nodD3 gene, confirmed the expression of a 35 kDa protein in vitro,...
