Abstract excerpt
The expression of the pap pilus operon of Escherichia coli is under a phase-variation control mechanism in which cells undergo a reversible transition between transcriptionally active (phase ON) and inactive (phase OFF) states. In this study, we explore the roles of leucine-responsive regulatory protein (Lrp) and the histone-like protein H-NS in the regulation of pap phase variation. Our data indicate that the...
