The Interacting Cra and KdpE Regulators Are Involved in the Expression of Multiple Virulence Factors in Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli
23 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
The human pathogen enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 codes for two interacting DNA binding proteins, Cra and KdpE, that coregulate expression of the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) genes in a metabolite-dependent manner. Cra is a transcription factor that uses fluctuations in the concentration of carbon metabolism intermediates to positively regulate virulence of EHEC. KdpE is a response...
