Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli uses at least two regulatory systems, stringent control and growth-rate-dependent control, to adjust rRNA output to amino acid availability and the steady-state growth rate, respectively. We examined transcription from rrnB P1 promoters containing or lacking the cis-acting UP element and FIS protein binding sites after amino acid starvation. The "core promoter" responds to amino acid starvation...
