Abstract excerpt
Synthesis of the Fis nucleoid protein rapidly increases in response to nutrient upshifts, and Fis is one of the most abundant DNA binding proteins in Escherichia coli under nutrient-rich growth conditions. Previous work has shown that control of Fis synthesis occurs at transcription initiation of the dusB-fis operon. We show here that while translation of the dihydrouridine synthase gene dusB is low, unusual...
