Abstract excerpt
AphA is a small PadR-family DNA-binding regulator in vibrios. AphA has been shown to be involved in transcriptional auto-repression, intestinal colonization and lethality in mice, biofilm formation, and quorum sensing in Vibrio cholerae. The AphA protein of Vibrio parahaemolyticus has 85% identity to that of V. cholerae with the same number of amino acids. In this work, the aphA null mutant was constructed from a...
