Transcription of the Shiga-like toxin type II and Shiga-like toxin type II variant operons of Escherichia coli
1 Nov 1990
Abstract excerpt
Shiga-like toxin type II (SLT-II) and Shiga-like toxin type II variant (SLT-IIv) are cytotoxins produced by certain strains of Escherichia coli. Nucleotide sequence analyses had revealed that the structural genes for the A subunit and B subunit of SLT-II or SLT-IIv are arranged in an operon. Primer extension and S1 nuclease protection analyses identified a promoter for the slt-II operon 118 bases upstream of the...
