Abstract excerpt
Expression of CFA/I fimbriae of Escherichia coli requires the transcriptional activator CfaD. The mechanism by which CfaD activates the CFA/I promoter is to overcome the repression by H-NS, one of the histone-like proteins in E coli. This study addresses the question of which sequences in the pro...
