Abstract excerpt
Several temporally controlled flagellar genes in Caulobacter crescentus require a sigma 54 promoter and upstream sites for transcription activation. We demonstrate here that in some of these genes, an AT-rich region containing an integration host factor (IHF) consensus binding site lies between the activator and the promoter, and that this region binds IHF in vitro. Analysis of mutations in the IHF-binding region...
