Isolation and characterization of Bacillus subtilis groE regulatory mutants: evidence for orf39 in the dnaK operon as a repressor gene in regulating the expression of both groE and dnaK.

Abstract excerpt

An inverted repeat sequence known as CIRCE (controlling inverted repeat of chaperone expression) in the Bacillus subtilis groE operon has been suggested to function as an operator. To identify the regulatory gene directly or indirectly involved in CIRCE-mediated heat-inducible groE expression, B....
