Abstract excerpt
The nan cluster of Vibrio vulnificus, a food-borne pathogen, consists of two divergently transcribed operons, nanT(PSL)AR and nanEK nagA, required for transport and catabolism of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac). A mutation of nanR abolished the extensive lag phase observed for the bacteria growing on Neu5Ac and increased transcription of nanT(P) and nanE, suggesting that NanR is a transcriptional repressor of...
