Abstract excerpt
A class of trans-acting mutations, which alter the osmoregulated expression of the Escherichia coli proU operon, maps at 27 min on the chromosome in a locus we have called osmZ. Mutations in osmZ are allelic to bglY, pilG and virR, affect gene expression, increase the frequency of the site-specific DNA inversion mediating fimbrial phase variation, stimulate the formation of deletions, and influence in vivo...
