Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli pgsA mutations, which cause acidic phospholipid deficiency, repress transcription of the flagellar master operon flhDC, and thus impair flagellar formation and motility. The molecular mechanism of the strong repression of flhDC transcription in the mutant cells, however, has not yet been clarified. In order to shed light on this mechanism we isolated genes which, when supplied in multicopy,...
