Abstract excerpt
On the basis of the constitutive phenotypes of two catM mutants of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, the CatM protein was proposed to repress expression of two different loci involved in catechol degradation, catA and catBCIJFD (E. Neidle, C. Hartnett, and L. N. Ornston, J. Bacteriol. 171:5410-5421, 1989). In spite of its proposed negative role as a repressor, CatM is similar in amino acid sequence to positive...
