Light-induced carotenogenesis in Myxococcus xanthus: DNA sequence analysis of the carR region.
Molecular microbiology - 1 Nov 1993
McGowan S J, Gorham H C, Hodgson D A
Abstract excerpt
The carR region encodes a light-inducible promoter, a negative regulator of the promoter and a trans-acting activator that controls the light-inducible Myxococcus xanthus carotenoid biosynthesis regulon. DNA sequence analysis revealed, downstream of the promoter, three translationally coupled gen...
