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...
