Identification of DNA Binding Motifs of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis PhoP/PhoR Two-Component Signal Transduction System
7 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Mycobacterium tuberculosis PhoP/PhoR two-component signal transduction system controls the expression of about 2% of the genome and plays a major role in pathogenicity. However, its regulon has not been well characterized. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The binding site of PhoP transcription regulator was identified in the upstream regions of msl3, pks2, lipF and fadD21 genes, by using gene...
