Abstract excerpt
Fis is a general nucleoid-associated protein in Escherichia coli whose expression is highly regulated with respect to growth conditions. A random collection of transposon-induced lac fusions was screened for those which give increased expression in the presence of Fis in order to isolate a ProP-LacZ protein fusion. We find that proP, which encodes a low-affinity transporter of the important osmoprotectants...
